Cant you just run jumper wires to the need contacts and leave the damaged traces? I dont see why time needs to be taken to remove the "balcken'd" area....
Two reasons... Unless you cut out all the cancer, it will continue to spread. Even though it might just look like a dead trace, it might be bridging to a trace...
... I have wondered this myself...everyone said that the acid would spread further eventually. In my own case, i did just jump wires at first...everything...
Can the acid permeate through the middle of the board? Such that cleaning the surfaces would be futile? Incidentally, what is the best method for cleaning...
I wiped the area good with rubbing alcohol multiple times. ... cleaning ... acid ... "wasteking1" ... "synthmdl76" ... remove the ... spread ... BETTER... ... ...
Technically, you'd need something basic to neutralize the acid. Alcohol is a good thing to clean an area and dissolve solids and wash them away. Of course,...
I had that idea and did that on my polysix...a bakingsoda wash to clean the battery area, but I cant say it stopped anything from eventually getting...
Hi all! Just wanted you to know about a midikit for the Polysix that I orded from CHD Electroservice, a small firm in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Its operation is...

... Surely the issue here is that NiCd batteries actually have an alkali electrolyte, not acid.... maybe the stuff that leaks out is actually acidic but I...
Well, it's an interesting effect that baking soda has... from what I've read, it will neutralize an acid or a base and produce different end products for each....
I know this is a old message but my p6 does this to. after the p6 is on for about 5 minutes it works fine, but until it warms up, the patch will start getting...
Im actually thinking of getting some of that stuff in a spray can that blows frezzing cold air so I can shoot it on the memory board to see if its a chip. btw...
wow, not just that but also pitch wheel! and some other stuff as well... really good find, if i hadn't midified mine yet, i'd definitely go for this one. jure...
don't get too excited but there could be another explanation: the last (and like 3rd) time i decided to repair my polysix i found something really funny. i...
Actually, the pitchbend-option is not that good. Stepping, but that probably due to it's a PICprocessor-driven application... /Kristofer Ulfves, Uppsala,...

how obvious is the difference between the 1 OCT and 2 OCT setting? When I have only the sub osc playing (PW all the way to the right) I can't hear the...
Hi Math, It's very obvious. With those settings, going from 1 OCT to 2 OCT should drop down an octave. Sounds like you have a problem. You might try cleaning...
Any help would be more than greatly appreciated. I recently bought a non working Polysix figuring the obvious. I opened it up and removed the varta battery...
One more quick question. Has anyone tried using the circuitwriter pen http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104395 to repair damaged traces?...
Seriously.. the only effective way to deal with the acid-damaged traces in a Polysix is to eradicate them.? Anything else is just asking for trouble.? Think of...
I have used one for other repairs...my complaint about the pen is that the ink line can be fat and blobby compared to a fine trace , and wire can be very thin...
Also, don't overlook the damaged thru-holes, which cannot be repaired by a circuit pen. ... No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free...
I use a similar thing when soldering is not possible, e.g. on flex-PCBs or the like. I agree with one poster who says that it can be difficult to "draw" the...
