Hello All,
I've had my S-770 about 3 months now and it's been working like a champ
until today. I have 16 Mb of RAM that suddenly doesn't show up when the
system boots. The only thing that has changed about my system recently was
that I added an external SCSI HD, which the 770 had no problem
formatting/copying/loading/saving, etc.
I have removed all external devices (CD-ROM, Zip and HD) and tried
re-booting. The system loads from the internal HD fine, but I cannot load
anything into RAM because RAM memory is listed at 0.00 seconds. When I try
to load a Sample/Patch, etc the 770 just freezes.
Any thoughts?

Hey Rikk,
Have you tried reseating the ram stick in the slot?

I was hesitant to do so, but yes I did that today after it started
exhibiting additional problems I'll get to later. I recently took the beast
apart to install a new LCD backlight and remembered the 770 uses a whole PCB
for the 16MB of RAM. There are 14 slots for the RAM, I'm assuming they are
1MB sticks as I *think* the unit originally ships with 2MB. Anyway, I
reseated all the RAM including the PCB and there was no change. Wave memory
= 0 MB.
Incidentally, just before I resorted opening the unit up, I was scanning
SCSI devices and noticed a "SCSI ID Error" message when it scanned the
"770
Self" on ID 7. Shortly thereafter I was trying to set the HD as the current
drive and it crashed. Fortunately, all my sounds are on external media and
I could do without an internal HD, but without Wave/RAM memory... I'm dead
in the water.
