Display Weirdness


Recommended Posts

My Midibox Sid has been working great! However, after like 20 minutes the display starts going haywire - but the synth is still responsive to Midi, and you can still tweak the encoder and change parameters. I just rechecked the LCD cable, and everything is solid. When I turn it back on after this "crash" I get the bootstrap, and then hear the SID program initialize - but then the display is still the bootstrap (blocks across the top) screen. If I leave it overnight I get the MIOS readout again. I am confused....has this happened to anyone else?

Hey - I think I finally have all of the problems solved :)!

- the display was acting up because (I think) it was shorting against the case when I pushed a button on the control surface.... I put some spacers in there and have not had the problem again (I also reloaded Mios and the app, which may have something to do with it as well)

- both my C64 power supplies died at the same time! I cracked them open and fixed them - what a pain in the ass!!!!! They filled them with some toxic plastic...so I cut in with my dremmel and soldered a new fuse directly to the old fuse (the quick and dirty solution) However, now I have a backup supply in case I need one, which is going to come in handy.

I still need to pop in a few more things, and then I will post some pictures! Thanks again - Tim
