In such a case, check also if the POWER AMPLIFIER circuit or power supply circuit has any abnormalities or not.

2-2. Regarding reset
There are cases that the machine does not work correctly because the MICROCOMPUTER is not reset even though the AC power cord is re-inserted, or the software reset (pressing the STOP key + POWER key) is performed. When the above described phenomenon occurs, it can lead to wrong judgement as if the MICROCOMPUTER is defective and to exchange the MICROCOMPUTER. In such a case, perform the forced-reset by the following procedure and check good or no good of the MICROCOMPUTER. 1 Remove the AC power cord.

2 Short both ends of the electrolytic capacitor C113 that is connected to VDD of the MICROCOMPUTER with tweezers. 3 Connect the AC power cord again. If the MICROCOMPUTER returns to the normal operation, the MICROCOMPUTER is good. Note: The reference number or MICROCOMPUTER pin number of transistor (Q110) and electrolytic capacitor (C113) can change depending on the models. Be sure to check the reference numbers on schematic diagram before starting the discharging work.

2-3. Confirmation of soldering state of MICROCOMPUTER
Check the soldering state of the MICROCOMPUTER in addition to the above described procedures. Be sure to exchange the MICROCOMPUTER after surely confirming that the trouble is not caused by poor soldering but the MICROCOMPUTER itself.
