A Bit Weird!

[michael11]

I mentioned this in a thread some time ago.

I’ve got a Yamaha PSR 2100 keyboard and it’s great for getting ideas down quickly.

About 6 months ago I started getting this error message:-

   Assertion Failed!
   Condition: 0
   File: ¥src¥hisysdwn.c
   Line: 133
   Address Error (read) !!
   Faram: H’8C1773F0

I put the keyboard to one side and just forgot about it.

Yesterday, I needed to move it and just for curiosities sake I switched it on and it worked!
After about 10 minutes it stopped working again.I took it downstairs,plugged it in and it worked all day.I brought it back upstairs switched it on and after a couple of minutes it stopped working again!

Really weird.

I would love to be able to have the keyboard working again and it’s not practical having it anywhere but the music room.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received and appreciated.

Mick.

just a google guess, but it looks like a small hardware piece needs to be replaced??

Looking at the online manual, in the "Special Message Section": Battery notice: This product may contain a small non-rechargeable battery
which is soldered into place. The average lifespan is 5 years....

There is probably a battery soldered on the circuit board. My guess is that the battery is probably going bad, erratically holding a charge.



*What is a CMOS battery, and why does my computer need one?

All personal computers require a small battery on the system board that provides power to the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chip, even while the computer is turned off. This chip contains information about the system configuration (e.g., hard disk type, floppy drive types, date and time, and the order in which the computer will look for bootable disks). The CMOS battery allows the CMOS to preserve these settings.

AHHHHH!!!

Thanks a lot Seth and Len.

Maybe the small piece of hardware that needs to be replaced is a battery.


Thanks again!!!

That's brilliant!
