Turn-on crackle and other noises
« on: July 17, 2015, 10:29:56 AM »
My Quicksand (about a year old) just started giving a crackle (not a thump) on start-up and then a pulsing thwack starts: it is not constant but occurs rhythmically about 10 seconds apart. I installed new batteries and it was still present. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Bob

I'd carefully inspect your solder joints, and be sure that the chip is well seated in the 20 pin socket.
