Nord drum 2 boot problems

Post by ChingusBingus »

Hey everyone! This might be a bit of a long shot, but has anyone ever worked on a Nord Drum 2?
I have one that is misbehaving…
When the unit receives power it displays the OS version, then the display just shows 0. Won’t respond to any button presses. No patches work.
I can boot into the update mode upon powering up and re-download the firmware, but this doesn’t fix the problem.
Took the unit apart to inspect it, none of the components visually look bad. Is it possible something within the firmware is corrupted? Possibly a memory issue?

Sounds like a hard issues to figure out without Nord support. I think if updates don't fix but it still powers on it's probably an issue so microscopic that finding it is impossible by anyone except the designer or repair tech.
