Do you have an owner's manual......first thing to try would be a factory reset...sometimes this will un-scramble the operating system and set it back to when it left the factory....contact Roland for an owner's manual if you don't have one....hopefully this helps..if not, then you will have to open it up.....
Hello Geoff, try using an external processor and check that it works well, if so, the problem is that you have the Jack connectors of Effect sending and those of Return of Effects, dirty
Apply a couple of drops of oil, type WD40, to a Plug connector and insert and remove them repeatedly in each connector Jack for sending and returning effects
I hope you can solve the problem, comment the results
Greetings Franco Dosil
There is no fuse inside SP250. If the unit can't power ON,there maybe damage to the adapter,adapter cord/connector,or broken fuse inside the adapter.
If adapter is in good condition, then the damage is inside SP250.
The possibilities are on regulator section.
Check all parts in this section (figure 1).
Also maybe there is a broken soldering joints at DC input socket.
You'll need needle nose pliers, small phillips head screwdriver, soldering iron, electronics-grade solder, socket screwdriver or 1/4" wrench, black electrical tape. Purchase necessary replacement jack. Remove plastic electronics cover plate, located on the back of the body, behind control knobs. This will expose the electronics cavity. Locate existing jack and its wire connections inside the exposed cavity. Remove any electrical tape covering the jack connections. Using a hot soldering iron, touch each of the two soldered input jack connections, one at a time, just until the soldered connection melts. Then, disconnect the associated wires (taking note of which wire connects where!). Once disconnected, loosen and remove the nut on the outer part of the jack that holds it onto the guitar body. Remove the old jack. Insert the new jack (with the nut removed) into the existing hole, from inside the electronics cavity and tighten it in place, on the outside of the guitar body, with the nut. Re-attach the wires to the new jack, by using needle nose pliers to wrap them tightly around the correct posts. Touch the hot soldering iron to each post and apply a small amount of solder to the post as it's being heated. Once the molten solder runs over the connection and looks shiny, remove the tip of the soldering gun. This process takes only 2 to 3 seconds. Let the connections cool for a few seconds. To insulate, wrap connections with black electrical tape. Replace cover plate.
It should be easy to identify because of the solder where it was connected...You should notice at first glance....However the red wire jumps to another..Sometimes there are 3 to 4 red wires that all run from the main pending on the pick-ups If you have more than one there will be more than one wire...Look closely with a magnifying glass I'm sure you will see it...Follow all red wires until you see the small lump of solder where wire was broken from...Normally when this happens there are still a tiny piece of the wire stuck inside of solder...
There are various things that could be causing the hum, best to start out on the smallest thing and go from there, could be dust gettting inside the volume or tone pots, check the ground wire that is soldered under the bridge plate to make sure it has a good solder and is not loose, etc. if all else fails, a quick fix is to place black electrical tape across the pick-ups, this will knock out some of the hum and help ground the instrument somewhat.
Sounds like a dry joint, if you're brave it may be worth going inside and flexing things to see if you can find it and then fix it if you're any good soldering.
All i can suggest is to use electrical contact cleaner on it from the inside. But you,ve already done that. And i would imagine that the master volumes will be the same to, Harry
If it is a coax with a wire in the center and a shield outside, the wire will attach to the contact that touches the tip of your plug you insert. The shield will attaach to the part that touches the sleeve of you plug. inspect the jack carefully as they can be foolers. When stripping the insulation back un-braid the shield a little to be able to solder it to the jack. Use a pair of needlenose and a helper to keep soldering heat from going up the braid and melting the insulation of the internal wire. Test unit before putting cover on.
I have had this same problem with mine, since the adapter jack is loose it's probably broken loose from the circuit board inside. I had to carefully dis-assemble and re-solder the adapter jack back to the circuit board. This is un-fortunately a weak point on some of Zoom's pedals, when you or if you get someone who is good at soldering to do it for you ask them to beef the solder joints up a little to help keep it from coming loose again. I re-did mine and I've never had another problem with it.
