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 only a question of who is responsible for very young children. There is no longer anyone home to care for adolescents and the elderly. There is no one around to take in the car for repair or to let the plumber in. Working families are faced with daily dilemmas: Who will take care of a sick child? Who will go to the big soccer game? Who will attend the teacher conference?”
    —Fran Sussner Rodgers (20th century)

    “A new idea is rarely born like Venus attended by graces
    More commonly it’s modeled of baling wire and acne.
    More commonly it wheezes and tips over.”
    —Marge Piercy (b. 1936)
