Okay thanks that should be all the information I need then. It's too pretty and sounds too sweet to be taken apart right now, but when I can bring myself to it, I'll have a look at this thread and reheat and resolder all the important joints! )
-
We're talking just 1 or 2 numbers back and forth across. I'm using a variable temp iron set to ~340 degree celsius (48W 50khz). I can crank it up to 450 degrees.

Can't seem to fix the pots. It's a wonderful machine anyway, but if anyone has a clue, please tell me Thanks for all the help Julian. I learned alot and gained a very cool drum machine

WHOO! I suck. I didn't see a cold solder on the 10k. But now it's fixed. Is it something similar with the pots maybe?
-
And going back to the pots. The second, third and fourth pot actually change the first pots values very slightly, close to their max. The third and fourth move the second's and first's values and the fourth moves all first three values. You said abo…

LED 8 was indeed fixed by reheating. Surprisingly, for me at least, since I already desoldered and resoldered it twice without change! Good, anyway! Let's just assume my technique has gotten better since then. load/save button still isn't working. I…

LED 8 seems to work sometimes if Ifiddle around with my finger a bit on its solder? What does that mean? Load/save button either "works" when pressed, but gets hit a thousand times a second, or lacks reaction completely. I'm suspecting something wit…

I checked for continuity between the pins near the NRST and found none! I guess that should mean the bent pin isn't shorting anything. I pushed a clipped resistor leg in there and VOILA! Firmware updated!! So happy! LED for seq button 10 and User bu…

BTW. Just for future reference. I also put extra solder or heat on a lot of joints after getting tipped off to the first bad joint on a 165. So some buttons, leds or ICs have possibly been fixed by that. Button 8 and 10 as well as the 'user' button …

Yeeesss!! All the buttons works! And a beautiful beat came out of it this time! (Before all sounds were distorted, probably because of settings being altered constantly by buggy button behaviour) It seems I had shorted the Voice 1 button to its' LED…
-
The remaining problem is a bit hard to define. The last sequencer button is fine but 8 and 10 are not anymore. Or maybe it's just their LEDs. A lot of buttons don't work. I can't seem to switch between voice and performance, while the 'voice 1' butt…
-
With the help of the wiki instructions I located a bad joint on a 165 and now it's a little bit more stable. But the rest of the continuity tests worked out fine. Including between pin 11 on that 165 to the first pin on the 10k resistor network. All…

I put the 4050 where there was supposed to be a 595 and vice versa. Okay, gotcha on the NRST pin. I also apparently completely forgot the put the mainboard back on the last attempt there, so with it on i actually get sounds. All LEDs seem to be work…
-
The leg would be sticking out on the top of the frontpanel, yes. And it's just not there. I was very surprised! !! I had the 4050 on the wrong spot. I must've messed it up while double checking all the ICs before. Now all buttons seem to work but th…
