Re: [PolySix] Warming up to tune?

2006-07-31 by klosmon

Unfortunately, there are a number of possible causes:  power supply going 
out of regulation;  reset needing to be recalibrated;  dead latch ICs on 
the CPU board;  etc.

Is this one of the units that had battery-leak damage in the past?  Even 
when repaired, these units can develop troubles later on, due to hidden 
damage to the board traces & continuing decay from traces of acid that 
weren't cleaned up.
