virus A in Test Mode Loop

    I just started up my 'virus A' after storing it for a few years and once powered on it goes in to this 'LED test' and 'KNOB test'?

    after following the whole ritual af pushing buttons and turning knobs it restarts and just goes back into this same mode

    anyone knows how to help here? I am stuck in this test loop

    cheers

    The knob test mode is reached when the Virus is booted with both "env mode" keys pressed. My guess is that the connection between the two PCBs isn't working properly. I'd suggest unplugging the Virus, opening the case and unplugging the ribbon cable that connects the main board with the button/LED board, then plugging the cable back in.


    Chances are the issue may be gone if you then close the Virus again and power it up. If that doesn't fix it, I'd replace the battery (which unfortunately erases all user patches since they only exist in the battery-backed RAM). If that still doesn't fix it, there's a real hardware issue.
