Ensoniq EPS - Repair Tips

Repair Tips

  • Persistent key calibration (tuning) errors are usually fixed by reconnecting the interior connecting cable.
  • Problems with the cold solder connections can disable the vacuum fluorescent display; this is remedied by resoldering.
  • Since the ROM chips were in sockets—sometimes after a couple years, the unit would fail to boot, and give strange characters on the display. Simply opening the unit and reseating the two ROM chips will fix this defect.

Famous quotes containing the words repair and/or tips:

    “It is not difficult to deceive the first time, for the deceived possesses no antibodies; unvaccinated by suspicion, she overlooks latenesses, accepts absurd excuses, permits the flimsiest patchings to repair great rents in the quotidian.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “Romeo. Lady, by yonder blessed moon I vow,
    That tips with silver all these fruit tree tops—
    Juliet. O, swear not by the moon, th’ inconstant moon,
    That monthly changes in her circled orb,
    Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
