"No Bankstick" while uploading Presets

Hi,

I’ve built a bankstick today, attached it to the core and tried to upload the preset-bank. Up to preset no. 74 it works fine but after that the lcd shows the message “no bankstick”.

Bad connections? Killed EEprom? Any Ideas?

Bad connections? Killed EEprom?

could be a combination of both. miswiring killed one for me

Hi and thanks for replying,

I don’t think I’ve miswired the bankstick. Checked twice. But could be bad/dead junctions. Have tried to solder the wires in the shortest time possible to not torture the chip. I’ll try to resolder it this evening. What me makes wonder is that it works up to preset 74 and failes after that.

Exactly… Sounds pretty much like a dead IC to me… Provided that there’s no custom code involved?

Thanks stryd_one,

I will order a new one and use a dil-socket. Sadly it wont fit into the subD-case anymore.

Are you able to upload the patches above 75?

(this can be easily tested with TL’s patch manager)

Best Regards, Thorsten.

Hi TK,

I tried It right now, got no access to patches from 75 to 128.

The eeprom is dead. Resoldered it today - problem stays.
