A few months ago, I decided to try to replace the fixed battery inside my Ensoniq VFX with a battery holder to make future replacements much easier. Normally, I’m OK with DIY soldering de-soldering, but I was struggling a bit to get the battery out with the braided desoldering tape and might have damaged a printed circuit path right near the battery leads because when I soldered in the new holder and put in a verified battery, my VFX came up all scrambled on its display and doesn’t play any sound.
Are there qualified repair shops out there that could address something like this, perhaps by finding the damaged circuit path and jumpering it, or shall I consider my board gone for good? I am in the NYC/New England area.
Thanks,
Steve
