Error Description:
1. The display shows "RAM IS CORRUPTED" during boot.
2. After showing the message above it will display the "Software Boot V...." window
(as if the unit was powered on while holding the Enter- or OK button)
3. If choosing START, the unit works normally but user presets are erased.
4. User presets can be saved but will be erased after power down.

Solution:
These messages will "normally" occur if the battery is low.
The problem could be due to a SRAM chip which draws too much current from
the battery.
Please check if the SRAM chip ( IC8 ) is marked "ISSI".
We have found that this brand of chip drains the battery way too fast.

The remedy is to replace this "ISSI" SRAM chip with another brand and the battery.

Start with checking if this happens in the digtal or analog part of the PCB.

If its the analog part then check which channel it is, if the left or right are distorting check the output from the IC35 right channel, IC36 left channel and the IC41. If the opAmp type isn't 33079 please replace it.

If both channels are distorting then check the gain controller IC33.
