Well, now I've done it. My Boss 8 R2E3 is pretty finicky in her old age, especially when it is hot or cold. I get the “2” error when it is hot and have to let the machine idle with the servo drives enabled forever (~2hrs) when it is cold in the garage before it will home itself. I have learned over the years that removing and reseating what appears to be a crystal oscillator in the front control panel electronics clears the “2” error. I did that last night and one of the pins snapped off the part. Now I am in desperate need to find a replacement since I have products that I sell made on this old beast.
The issue is that the part number and other information wore off the chip so I am not sure what the replacement would be. It seems to be a 4-pin configuration crystal oscillator – I’m not sure what the frequency is (1 Mhz or 4 Mhz perhaps?).
Could anyone snap a picture of the chip in question or provide the part number/information on it?
I have attached a picture of the inside of my control panel with the replacement part that I need circled in red. Again, I am desperate to find a replacement part and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
