RE: [vintagesynthrepair] Finding a dry joint...!?

it might be tedious but I go through and resolder all solder points,it takes a little time but can be well worth it, a lot of times the dry/cold solder joint can not be seen even with the highest magnification.

Hello.

Try to use a magnifying glass and a strong light to check the circuit board and the soldering joints of the components.

Using a multimeter, check if the power supply is distributed thru the board.

You can find the schematics on the following link:

Good luck!

Best regards.

Hi guys,

Trying to fix a dead DX100 here. I have isolated the problem to a dry joint or open circuit somewhere. If I slightly twist or bend the main circuit board it all springs into life! This could take a while...;c)

Any techs here have any tips that could increase my chances of pinning down the problem...?

Cheers,
TOM
