juno 106 not turning on after replaced voice chip

juno 106 not turning on after replaced voice chip

2008-03-06 by cockandswan

hey,

i just finished repairing my juno 106 voice chip when suddenly i
realized it wasn't on, and now it's not powering back up. it worked
fine and was running as usual. i was letting it warm up for ten
minutes before calibrating the trim pots. 

it was voice five if that matters.


thanks for any help,
johnny

A little bit more information would be nice.

Like, are all the voltages from the power supply there?

(I've found on several occasions that the mains power wires to the socket
in the back break because they are rather short. Opening the 106 can
essentially rip them away from the socket. If that's the case make sure you
unplug the 106 first before re-soldering it!)
