Einleitung

Die DSP-Einheit ist praktisch das Gehirn dieses kleinen Rackers. Glücklicherweise lässt sich diese Art von Hirn austauschen, falls es irgendwann nicht mehr funktionieren sollte.

    • Um an die Schrauben unter dem Keyboard zu kommen, musst du einige Tasten entfernen. Dafür kannst du entweder ein Opening Tool oder ein Opening Pick verwenden. Das erste Bild zeigt, welche Tasten entfernt werden müssen (insgesamt zwölf Stück).

    • Die vier länglichen Tasten der Klaviatur kannst du von links her lösen.

    • Die acht kleineren Tasten löst du von unten.

    • Der Scherenmechanismus der acht kleinen Tasten blockiert die darunter liegenden Schrauben.

    • Wieder mit einem Opening Tool oder einem Opening Pick kannst du diese einfach herausheben.

    • Achte beim Zusammenbauen darauf, dass die Scherenmechanismen in der richtigen Orientierung eingebaut werden.

    • Löse die zwölf Schrauben mit einem Phillips #00 Schraubendreher.

    • Dann ziehe einfach die vier Drehknöpfe und den Lautstärkeregler ab.

    • Jetzt kannst du das Keyboard leicht anheben und versetzt nach hinten ablegen.

    Your missing the ribbon decoupling step, unless you skipped it because it’s such a tight squeeze to get back in.

    The concept of removing the square panels that the knobs sit on was skipped.

    • Entriegele die Flachbandkabel indem du die beiden schwarzen Kunststoffnasen auf jeder Seite der Anschlüsse wegdrückst.

    • Öffne die Verbindung des Displaykabels mithilfe eines Plastic Opening Tools indem du die Lasche nach open klappst.

    • Das Display ist mit einem sanften Kleber befestigt. Ein Spudger hilft dir, es zu befreien.

    • Jetzt kannst du das Kabel lösen und das ganze Display heraus nehmen.

    • Nun kannst du vorsichtig das DSP Board anheben, um an das Flex-Kabel darunter zu gelangen.

    • Löse das Flex-Kabel mit einem Spudger und entferne das DSP Board.

Can you advise me where I can order DSP board?

Ju-seok Jang -

Hi Ju-seok Jang, unfortunately we don’t sell this spare part. You might be able to reach Teenage Engineering directly and get an answer from them where to purchase that part.

Tobias Isakeit -

I reached out to teenage engineering a month ago about ordering a replacement but they still haven’t responded. Pretty unacceptable seeing as they have a “do it yourself!” ethos for their $1,000 device…

Ben Fischer -

Hi! Did you find a solution? I have the same issue. Thanks!

Juan Rodríguez Berbín -

My OP-1 wouldn’t go into boot mode, and TE told me it was probably the DSP board, and they would look at it for a fee since it was out of warranty. Now I can’t find the DSP board anywhere to do this repair. I then found out this was a common problem, a manufacturing defect. I wonder if there are enough people with these problems the EU 2 year warranty rule can be invoked, or a class-action suit of some sort. TE has basically left those who have these problems without an option to repair the TE manufacturing defect.

Robert Herman -

I have the same problem! Did you find a solution? Thanks a lot!

Juan Rodríguez Berbín -

@Juan Berbin I just saw your reply, and I bumped my situation in the hopes TE will reach out and offer a DSP up for sale for my original OP-1, so I can try and repair it. It seems a lot of people have had this issue, and for the premium price of the unit, you would think they would somehow meet people half way given their success and wanting to keep their brand in good standing. Sort of how Google's "Don't Be Evil" motto went all wrong, and now TE is the same. Good luck to you. I haven't had any. And they are charging even more for the new one. I hope they don't strand their new customers.

Robert Herman -

Mine will boot most of the time, but after a very short use the knobs stop working. Naturally I attempt to restart it but once I shut it off it won’t turn back on. I also noticed that after a 20 hour charge, within one day (1 day sitting with power OFF, not in use) the battery will be dead again. Not sure how the battery can die with the device turned off. I’ve replaced the battery, the connector board, checked all connections inside, even downgraded back to the firmware it shipped with (237 I believe?). Nothing has worked. Only thing left is the DSP board. FURIOUS that a $1200 device only lasted me a year before basically becoming a paper weight. I babied it too…got an expensive case and everything…UNBELIEVABLE.

Lord Shongo -

Where can I buy the dsp board? I need to replace mine. TE won’t sell me one and sends me info to some repair shop in NJ.

Jeff Martin -

I have an OP1 since 2016 lying around and won't boot. Every now and again I hook it up to USB for a charge, otherwise, its the most expensive paperweight I have ever had. Last I heard, I should send it off to Sweden and have the Mainboard replaced for a few hundred euros. Absolute disgrace, as it seems just a mainboard bug. I can still run all the test (switch on & hold com) and it comes out ok on all test. But it won't boot and won't respond to software update. At first I had a few cool ideas and uses for this unit but now its just a reminder of how bad a modern startup company treats customers with trouble, especially since its obviously a product bug and not user induced. Piece of crap.....

Following up on my post from 2020 above, the OP-1 I bought in July 2012, works fine except I cannot get it into the boot menu. If I hold down the COM button and power up, the speaker clicks, but I get no boot screen. If I just power on, it works as expected. It can show up as a disk via USB, and I can copy the ROM file to the root directory, but I cannot effect an update without being able to enter the boot screen.
To this day I have not been able to get a DSP board as a spare part from TE or iFixit. They are never in stock. I am not going to pay $50 for a diagnosis, a part fee, and labor for something I should be able to buy and repair at my own risk. I am hesitant to sell it, since it seems it will be hard to get decent money for it given you cannot update the OS. I was so enamored with TE in 2012, but now I guess their success allows them to become the impersonal company they didn't set out to be I am guessing. So disappointed especially given the recent rise of Right To Repair in the world and climate.
