| Twodisbetter | AbortRetryFail, assumed you already had. Still the onus is on MNT, BUT they are swamped and doing far more important work right now, and I hope Lukas is still having a good vacation. | 17:38 |
| AbortRetryFail | Why is the onus on MNT? They've made all of the designs of the thing public. | 17:39 |

| Twodisbetter | AbortRetryFail, they sell the product as a sum of the parts. Asking the customer to go look up individual parts and look at the spec sheets is not wise, nor an established norm. Furthermore some of the parts will list temps based on a specific configuration that may or may not be present in the design of the Reform. Customers might think that they can manage a certain tempature but because of the | 17:43 |
| Twodisbetter | sealed nature of the case, lack of airflow, etc. this may not be the case. While I feel this way, I'm not dinging MNT in the slightest for not having an ambient temp specification listed under specs. Merely suggesting it might be a good thing to list. | 17:43 |
| AbortRetryFail | Publishing the parts list and schematics isn't the established norm either. | 17:44 |
| Twodisbetter | AbortRetryFail, I've already explained why I think it is not a good thing. Part and schemactics not being either is irrelevant to my point. | 17:45 |
| AbortRetryFail | What I found online about the batteries said -20C to 55C storage temp range. | 17:45 |
| Twodisbetter | AbortRetryFail, I've already explained why I think it is not a good thing. Parts and schemactics not being the norm either is irrelevant to my point. | 17:45 |
| Twodisbetter | I saw that as well, and the reason I asked is because the SoC (IMX8) regularly sits at temps close to this in use. I have not perceived any ill effect, but still having the whole system sitting in a hot car for hours has me worried. | 17:46 |
| AbortRetryFail | None of my boutique open-source synthesizer equipment has stuff like temperature ranges documented either. | 17:46 |
| Twodisbetter | same here. My entire eurorack has none of that, well besides the Rossum modules. | 17:47 |
| Twodisbetter | oh and also the Orthogonal devices modules. | 17:50 |
| Twodisbetter | But I would agree, a lot of products don't list stuff like that. But honestly even though you can move your synths, they are not really portable. | 17:50 |
| Twodisbetter | Laptops on the other hand are designed to to be moved and be put in differing situations. | 17:51 |
| Twodisbetter | Anyway thanks for the info on the batter! | 17:51 |
| AbortRetryFail | Tell that to any touring musician. :) | 17:51 |
| Twodisbetter | They put them in gig bags and hard cases. | 17:51 |
| Twodisbetter | Usually in air conditioned vans. | 17:51 |
| AbortRetryFail | Or bake in the hot sun for hours before/during setup | 17:52 |
| Twodisbetter | sucky gig. I'd be like, yo get my synths an sun umbrella. Hahaha | 17:52 |
| AbortRetryFail | tbh im not worried about the PCBs or the SoC. They survive reflow ovens much hotter than a car's trunk | 17:52 |
| AbortRetryFail | the batteries and LCD though might get damaged from excessive heat. | 17:53 |
| AbortRetryFail | Powered on or charging is a different story since its not just environmental heat at that point. | 17:53 |
| Twodisbetter | yeah. I think that is a solid point. | 17:55 |
| Twodisbetter | I can also see why companies might be wary to give out that information. | 17:55 |

| jjbliss | I've been working on fixing a reform that I damaged back in 2022 and thought I'd ask here if anyone has some advice. | 18:29 |
| jjbliss | The original issue was with the SOM but something fell on the motherboard while the system was open to debug through serial. This caused a momentary short with a noticeable noise and visible spark. After that, I decided I had done enough damage, and I'd take a break from poking at it for a while so things didn't get worse. | 18:29 |
| jjbliss | I recently tried a replacement SOM and that surprised me by booting. There is still an issue that I'm assuming is from the motherboard short. The battery monitor is showing the last cell as 0.0 and the cell above it as 3.0 when all other cells are showing as 3.2. | 18:29 |
| jjbliss | These are new cells, and they are using the protected battery boards now. All eight cells when tested have around 3.2V | 18:30 |
| jjbliss | I've just started checking the battery circuitry on the motherboard and I've discovered that the resistor at R25 is reading around 300 Ohm rather than the 4.7 Ohm it should, so I'm assuming that's at least part of the issue. | 18:30 |
| jjbliss | I thought I'd ask here, if attempting to replace that resistor seems like a likely fix, or if there is probably a deeper issue? I'm not very comfortable doing SMD soldering work, but replacing that resistor doesn't look particularly difficult as far as surface mount soldering goes. | 18:31 |
| jjbliss | The best option is probably just to get a replacement motherboard when they get back into stock on the MNT store, and use this one as a home server with no batteries connected or something like that, but if it's just replacing a resistor, it might be worth a try. | 18:36 |
