Right, all credit goes to ryan, who is on this board as Ryan-ZenGtr-
First off, remember that G-Major I had that locked up a few months ago? As in would just freeze every so often? And then one morning decided to simply not work at all?
Well, Ryan had the same problem, so he took his apart and discovered that there's two chips in sockets that can be replaced. Now either of these can come loose, so if your g-Major is hanging, then take it apart, and find these two chips:
On the main board, easy to get to:
On the front PCB, a bit harder to get to as you really have to unscrew everything:
And simply push them in. I did with mine, and the one on the front panel was visibly not in the right place, although still in the socket, and then, once I'd pushed it in, powered it up, and hey presto, the G-Major works again! And this is going from a unit which would not even start (the screen would light up, but not display anything).
Hence, cheers Ryan, I owe you a few beers
