Roland SPD-20 - Battery Replacement

[@jscan]

fine little tutorial! I'm attempting to open my SPD-8, whose case seems to be very similar, but I'm having a lot of resistance pulling the back off and don't want to break it! My battery is probably fine but I will check it when open and my goal is to modify the circuitry (pad breakouts and USB adapter) as well as paint the case. My question: does one have to put considerable force to pull the back from the unit? Yes, all externally visible screws have been removed and I seem to have separation of case all around between 5 -15mm on any given side (less usually on the rear side), it seems there is some clip holding the case together in the middle rear, but nothing visibly apparently peaking through the separation. Appreciate anyone's comment/assistance!

[@ThePhilStudio]

Not 100% sure but I think there's 2 plasic clips on top left and right of the unit. Give it a gentle pry with a small flathead screw driver. Let me know how it goes. Maybe a plastic credit card would be better to unclip.

Hello, something strange happens with my octapad, I program it, save it, and then next day it's back to normal, do you think it is because of the battery? Or what do you think it is?

[@ThePhilStudio]

Most likely the battery. You should check it with a mutlimeter. Or just replace it.

[@horacioperez3779]

Thanks for ur quick response,... What does the battery do? Or what is it for?

Amigo. Se reemplaza así apagado el Octapad o ensendido?

[@bladewolling4947]

Oh NO! Yet another one of my instruments that I've had in storage for 15 years that might need a new battery. Thanks for the reminder so I can allocate time to change the battery before assuming that the SPD-20 will be ready to go when I need it (which is soon).

[@ThePhilStudio]

Ahah it sucks but it has to be done from time to time. Like after some years :P

[@hichammohaddab575]

please how to regoler err analog when i get it on i cant do it

[@ThePhilStudio]

Make sure your power supply is the right one. It is supposed to be 12V AC (this allows to make the +5V , 0V and -5V.)

[@andrestecnic1]

hi my octapad says (analog base error) do you know the solution? Thanks.

[@ThePhilStudio]

From what I red, this message could occur if you strike a pad while turning on the power. If you press any button, the display error should disappear. If it doesn't disappear, I guess there is a defective pad (piezo).

Hi.. How may I Buy this Used Roland SPD drum pad.. please 😊

[@ThePhilStudio]

Unfortunately, that Roland doesn't belong to me.

[@mayank8490]

Please tell me if I restart octapad will all my patches deleted ..???

[@ThePhilStudio]

A factory reset would probably delete all your patches. Make sure they are saved somewhere before doing so.

How to change 8pad on roland spd20

[@ThePhilStudio]

You can replace the Piezo fairly easily, see 3:50 of the video. There are 2 solder on each piezo, make sure you solder them the same way.

[@aniljangrapercussionist8715]

Sir what is the maximum and minimum battery level Mean, at what % level we should change the battery

[@ThePhilStudio]

A CR2032 is usually 3,3V and considered dead or to be replaced when it reach something like 2.8 - 2.7V
