Something is stopping power and lowering it to the half . .

Thanks for everything Thorsen. I did the option B described in the README file, upload the new bootstrap loader and update from and older MIOS version. Everything went cool, with no errors. But the LCD still show only the black bar.

I'm missing something ?

Ok, so: MIOS and bootloader are up-to-date, you propably never need to update them anymore.

Now it's time to debug the LCD. Infos can be found here:

On the other hand: if you can't wait to get some sounds out of the SID and want to troubleshoot the LCD later - just upload the MIDIbox SID application, and connect the SID module

Best Regards, Thorsten.

I think that trying to solder the LCD I killed it. Now I t does not turn on anymore. I soldered/desoldered it about 3 times . . . well, I 've got another question. I'm connecting the SID module to the core, and I don't know what schematic I have to follow. I'm following the optimized PSU, but I found this page and now I don't know what to do :

http://www.ucapps.de/mbhp_sid_old.html.gen (I'm using a SID mudule R2) Thanks.

How should I connect the core to the SID so ? Thanks a lot.

R2 is an older revision, so it has to be connected like described at the _old page.

There is an interconnection test application available, which you can use to ensure that you made everything right.

Best Regards, Thorsten.
