Condition of DX7
While the S will replace the functionality of damaged or missing EPROM and/or SRAM
chips, it will not correct other problems your vintage synthesizer may have. It is recommended
that the synth be in otherwise good condition before beginning the installation. For instance, the
battery voltage should be checked and the battery replaced/repaired by a tech if necessary.
Sockets for the EPROM and SRAM chips should be in good working order and not be dirty,
oxidized, rusted or otherwise compromised. If repair is required, do it before installing
S.
