Changed midi controller chip: No sound VH4 -solved-

[Vigier Arpege]

Changed the midi controller chip but when I power up the amp, all the lights are on and the are no sound, what could be wrong?

I'm pretty sure that the chip isn't correctly in its socket with all "legs" getting contact.

 

[Vigier Arpege]

All legs were in, tried the old one again and the amp works fine. My reason for changing the chip is that my amp sometimes behaves strange when powering it up. Maybe the new chip is a bad one? Ain't easy to change this chip without bending some legs though...

 

[duesentrieb]

That is true. And any electrostatic potential will kill it

 

[Vigier Arpege]

Tried the new chip again, still the same. Put in the old one and the amp works fortunately
I'll contact support for a new chip.

Thanks for your input Olaf, helpful as always!
