Nord Stage 3- Screen Flickering Problem

Post by eaglekey »

Hello everyone. My English isn't very good, so I'm sharing the problem as a video as well. The screen flickers with some Hammond sounds. It stabilizes when I adjust the drawbars at the end. It doesn't happen with any other sound. Everything is up to date. If anyone knows what the problem is and could share it with me, I would be very grateful. Thank you. And long live ChatGPT! :)

Before sending to the repair service I would try the only two things that come to mind (maybe others have better ideas).

First, I would reinstall the OS.
If that does not cure it (but you need to feel confident doing it!), I would open the lid and pull out and reseat carefully each of the mulit-cables that connect to the circuit boards, one at a time.
Careful doing that, make sure that you take photos before and after in case you forgot how they are positioned.

There are some posts with videos and photos on how to 'properly' open the Nords.

Needless to say that the power supply should be disconnected to avoid any undesirable shocks or damaging the instrument.

Hi, it happened to me a few months ago, it's a slightly oxidized cable inside. Sent it to assistance and the problem was solved.
