wow thanks legg,
i guess alot of detective information is allready there in the fault
description that i ignored.
namely a group of buttons have all failed yet other groups of buttons with
different functions has not failed on the same board should lead one to
suspect a possible common shared connection between these three failed
buttons.
so look to the common connection point for all three failed buttons.
how simple and forthright yet elusive to amateurs like me.
one interesting thing i noticed is one of the alphanumeric LED cells has
artifacts (slight glowing) displayed in it and the artifacts shimmer and
change slightly when a BAD buton is pushed could this indicate a failure of
some component ?
thanks... i will look as you suggested,the Balance key, Stitch length
key and Stitch width key are the only buttons that do not seem to
work.
The programming keys (ie. stitch selector buttons) do work as do all
other buttons including the top right key that shows optimal settings
and recommended foot. The machine will stitch the correct stitch
according to parameters in the display for the selected stitch (eg.
stitch 00 straight stitch at 2.5 length *and* stitch 10 zig zag at
3.0 wide 2.0 length and so on)
*problem* being that i can not change the Balance nor Stitch length
nor Stitch width for any of the stitch selections 00-99 ??? when a
number appears above the keys, then some stitches have the amber
light and does not chnage those as expected.
I tried erasing memory as you said (no luck). I tried removing and
installing new batteries (no luck).
