[SoundDiver] Re: Sony HR-*P5 reset.

Replacing the battery  requires a battery holder to be
fitted unless you can find an exact replacement. Nasty
job for someone in a hurry without  the right parts to
hand. The board has to be completely disconnected to
make sure you don't stress the mini molex connectors.
I normally take all the panels off and tighten the
pots and sockets while I'm visiting.
 Also worth checking the solder connections to the
power in socket and the jacks, they take a direct hit
when the unit slides off the top of the handle on your
Mesa Boogie.
 I use a solid sleeved wire to convert the holder to
have pins which align with the holes in the board.
I've done a few, and you have to reset the device
after. 
The lack of contrast is a give-away.

I  failed to find the reset code immediately, but I
tried the typical 2 or 3 button press sequences.

Holding the BYPASS and EXIT buttons while powering up
erases all the user memory, andf everything looks
normal, saves to user memory etc. Could be wrong, mine
wasn't previously scrambled, but I'm 99% sure that's
it.

 
Then you need a dump of the presets you took before
the machine got too flaky. When new they have a
duplicate factory set, which I duped by copying all
the P patches into the U patches one by one, good for
testing the dump restore process which can be tedious
over the changing platforms over the years.
I've used Sounddiver mostly, but Cakewalk 3.0 did it
with sysx fine, although you can't see if the memory
is worth anything until you reload it in a machine.

My two MP5's got new backlights for Christmas, they
fade quickly when you leave them on for years at a
time.
MIDI-rakete.de had them, and lots of others. Good
service, decent prices
