IRC is dead and so is the MIDIBox chat too, here is a Discord server. https://discord.gg/V3uK88p Hopefully bringing us in to this century may make it a bit busier too, might even get the forum going again (Lets hope)

https://discord.gg/V3uK88p There is the MIDIbox Discord

OK gave in and tried, the backlight is definiately dead, not sure if i should chance trying a new screen or if it is just gonna burn out that too LOL.

its a SID not an FM, but im burnt out on this, spending hours looking for a power supply after the last one killing my LCD seemingly, its just an outdated design that is no longer usable to be fair, everything is switchmode now.

Yeah im not even chancing building my own, that is a recipe for death, it is time the Sammich went in the bin, it is of zero use to me now to be honest.

Pricks sent a completely different switched supply, seems it is near impossible to get a supply for the Sammich now in the UK.

How can i test if that power supply is linear and regulated ? They sent one, but it isnt the one in the image and it is pretty small too.

IRC is dead, thats why the chat is dead, Im gonna set up a discord in a bit, it is sad to see this place like this.

Hahahah shipping on that is nearly twice the cost of the PSU :) I think i probably need to get a new screen too, OLEDs working on sammich yet ?

Tried a regulated switching supply, looks like it burnt out my backlight as per a ton of threads on here, but I dont think Wilba is around anymore to contact is he.

Its pretty dead on this forum nowadays uh :(

Anybody know of a good supplier ? Everything I am looking at is switchmode or EU plug.

Here's a mad idea, hows about a slight mod of this using a couple of Bassboys running into some analogue filters (Seppos in my case) Could be an amazing hybrid Digi osc/Analogue filter hybrid, all it would need is for this to be modded slightly to have a MIDI out to trigger the Bassboys and the ability to add 12 controls for the Bassboys :)

Sorry to the people i only just replied to Moved house and all other kinds of crapola Still have some chips available if anybody needs them

Awesome Love that look and the C64 keys are brilliant Flexi

nILS will tell you that i actually devastated a GM5 It's a long story but needless to say i put so much heat through it with the iron it should have been liquid I am not kidding now i was pulling my hair out after hours trying to get it to solder (Involvinga broken iron and everything, a true nightmare) However even after all these hours of frying the chip i eventually used a different iron And got it to take and the thing still works perfectly now Just don't give up on these things A technique that i use now (And im sure people will laugh at this) Tin the pads on the board Tape the SMD in place using a piece of insulation tape then heat up a leg until you get a tack Then just solder it best you can and don't worry about excess solder Then use wick to clean it up and make sure there are no shorts Hope this helps but all i want to do here is stress that these are doable even by a complete knuckle like me Flexi Oh PS i have done a few more since and each one gets easier as you get more confident ;)
