Before going too far, check your connectors!

Before going too far, check your connectors!

2003-02-08 by comraderecords <comraderecords@bigpond.c

Hi all, I recently bought a malfunctioning Polysix and after having a 
look inside I noticed the battery had already been removed and there 
was some minor battery leakage on the circuit board.

Well, I was just about to take the circuit board out and begin 
repairing traces when I noticed a loose connector between 2 of the 
circuit boards.  I plugged it in properly, put the hood back down, 
switched it on and it all worked perfectly!!  All I had to do then 
was clean the circuit board & install a new battery.

So my message to anyone with a malfunctioning synth is to check all 
the connectors are properly fastened before doing any serious repair 
work!!!

Good call! I think we forget that sometime it can be the little obvious
things that cause 'malfunctions'. Sounds like you got yourself a bargain
there then:)
