I have a (new to me) Quad QSA-30A that I just got about a week ago. At first, I could get it to go ready most of the time, now it will never go ready. I have traced the ready button into the DPRAM board and the logic is OK all the way into one of t

If we understand correctly, your SMT solder connections remelt when passing through the wave solder machine and your QA-people don't like it when that happens. It's nice not to remelt this solder, but as long as the board meets your acceptance stand
