Hey everyone!
I recently picked up an Ibanez SDR-1000+ (which is functionally and circuit-wise identical to the Sony MU-R201) which I was enjoying very much. If any of you know this unit, you know it's a fantastic reverb that's got an excellent early digital reverb vibe, which works wonders on synths and electric guitars.
I plugged it in and it was working just fine, (save for some dust and some loose pots that I tightened), until all of a sudden the VFD display just stopped working. It was still passing signal, (both dry and wet), and functionally it was working just fine. I just couldnt see anything on the VFD display.
I contacted a few repair shops that gave me quotes that are worth more than me just fixing it myself, and I'd like to give it a shot! I already took apart the unit and separated the front panel where the buttons and display are, and I'd like to know how to troubleshoot this guy and fix her up!
Thanks everyone, and I look forward to tackling this issue with you guys! ;D ;D
Btw, I have attached the schematics and user manuals here. The repair manual is for the MU-R201, but it's got everything the same on the inside.
