Emu E4K
Anyone know if there is a schematic for the Emu E4K. Mine has a warm up issue with the keyboard part, 8 keys don't work but come into life about 20 mins later and then work perfectly. My guess is a bit/line on the keybed contact scanner chip is failing. It would help to know if it's a replaceable chip or some custom device. The former I can replace. A schematic would help me locate the culprit much faster.

Hi blueknob, I have uploaded it here :

You can use a hairdryer and a freeze spray to find the culprit.

Thanks Mr Y - that's very good of you and sooo fast!
Had a quick look.. hmm.. once big chip does it all, more.. hmm..

Re: Service Manuals and Schematics!
You are welcome blueknob!
A few ideas :
1) check/clean/reattach the fatar keyboard connectors. Replace cable if possible.
2) 8 keys mean that 1 bus has the problem. Could it be due to a leaky diode ? Replace diode on the specific bus.
3) The scanner ic looks like a custom EMU ic, thats bad news.

Re: Service Manuals and Schematics!
I studied the circuit, got to the K-Chip emu use for keyboard scanning, worked out exactly which bus line (pair - make and break) - took close look for that specific connector and noticed it was slightly skewed (not in 100% on one end) - pushed it in 1mm. So far all working now
result.
