This is caused by a high capacitance on some 9-chip SIMM sticks If you send me your address, I'll send a set of 3-chip SIMMs; this will almost certainly cure the problem. -----Original Message----- From: redrum123 [mailto:redrum123@worldnet.att.net] Sent: 08 January 2004 21:07 To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Subject: EDP Memory socket broken? This little anecdote brings up a problem I've had (used to bother me a lot more, now just an annoyance). My second memory slot seems to have failed. I have an old whiteface EDP i picked up used, with full upgrades, and after reseating the chips once, I noticed that sometimes the loop would eventually (and suddenly) become white noise. Hitting undo a bunch sometimes fixed this, sometimes. I fixed the problem by taking out one of the memory sticks, and have since ran with only half the max memory. Swapping the memory sticks has shown that the problem is not with the memory itself, so i assume the second memory slot is busted. Any reports of this happening for anyone else? Anything I overlooked, or any simple solution? If I ever wanted this repaired, would it be possible? Who would I contact? -gsc. ----- Original Message ----- From: wavecomputer360 To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 1:41 AM Subject: EDP not working hi folks, in fact the sockets for the memory are probably the tackiest quality Iīve ever seen. When my friend Frank - who is a noted computer tech - replaced the original 4 mb with 16 mb SIMMs, he didnīt manage to get the original components out of their sockets. Using more force after tender and careful pulling resulted in contact brackets from the sockets getting loose. We were in for a sweat when we fixed this by reseating the contacts and prayed it would work after that. Luckily it did but... the other EDP had exactly the same problem. Luckily I knew what was about to happen. Upgrading the Jam Man was a good deal easier. Stephen / [īramp]
