Welcome! To get fast, accurate help, please follow this when you post in Synth Repair.
1) Title (be specific)
Use: [Brand] [Model] – [Main symptom]

If your model isn’t listed:
Use models-<brand>-tbd (e.g., models-korg-tbd) and reply in the pinned “Request a new model tag” thread with your exact model name + a link to your topic. We’ll add the tag and retag your post.
3) What to include
-
Model & revision/OS: (e.g., “DX7 MkI, firmware 1.8”)
-
Symptoms: What exactly happens? When did it start? Does it change with warm-up?
-
Work done so far: Parts replaced. What changed the symptom?
-
Photos / audio: Clear board photos, close-ups, short audio of the issue.
-
Extras (if available): Manual/schematic link, error codes, power region, MIDI/audio chain.

If your issue is for multiple different brand/models, start a new topic.
