Juno-60 shuts off upon pushing "Save" for patch storage

Post by Elandroth » Wed May 08, 2013 8:06 pm

Any ideas? Whenever I press the "Save" button, it just shuts off. I have to flip it off and back on, and it's back to normal - without saving anything. I previously never really wanted to store any patches in the Juno, as I'm not a performer and I use the Juno as sort of a super friendly "cook up a sound quick" board for jamming or just doing a cover or something. It's always so easy to find what I'm trying to dial in, I've never even cared about storing the patch, but now I have reason to and I'm getting this behavior. I tried searching but couldn't find this topic.

It sounds to me like you may have a Juno 6 inside of a Juno 60 shell where the save tact switch has been routed in series with the mains. Cool.

I'm no help, a true professional is needed here.

No expert here.
1) Do the BANK-3 and Patch-3 buttons seem to work? If so that rules out the strobe line.
2) Try pressing SAVE with the ARP MODE switch set to UP/DOWN. Any change? This isolates that scan line from the arp. circuits.
3) Maybe some strange defect in the SAVE button : a broken piece touching ground?
EDIT: cracked trace on the board being opened from the motion of pressing the button?
