5 Years! I think the longest I've had between getting and repairing was about 2 years - you win. My rule is if it's still in bits after about 6 months, give it another go...then re-ebay it for spares. The mainboard did look pretty corroded, maybe a spare board will come up to swap over, D-10's are still pretty cheap for parts. I have one of those desoldering stations, very handy but I find the gun does clog up far too often if the old solder is claggy and turning into paste - which it usually is on older gear, I keep the little cleaning rod handy.

Yeah, I think that's a record for me, but I feel I could do much better and probably will! I need to do some detailed diagnosis to work out what the sound issue is. It only affects about half the sounds, so I think it's a problem on one of the sound ROM chips, a missing link on the data bus or something. I've not had any problems with the solder gun yet but I'll watch out for that. Thanks for the comment!
