hi similar problem here. I bought a Cheetah Md16 a while ago, under the assumption it was working.. (lieing ebay seller..) anyway the machine powers up and none of the buttons work and the sounds coming out of each output are massively corrutped digital sound scapes of nonsense. like all the sounds are glitched up to the max and coming out at once. Sound kinda cool, but I would rather have the machine working correctly.
i notice once I opened up the case that the battery was leaky and pretty much sad looking, so I removed it. I then gave up on the beast and put it back in its box (the original none less).
After reading the circuitbent site and discoverign this cheetah may be of some use, I am keen to get it going.. Can anyone that owns a MD16 let me know what the power rating on the battey pack is. I am sure it was a 3.6v battery pack with 3 connectors.
Also, any tip on repair rubber buttons would be great. Also is someone can provide a bin file of the OS so I can burn a new chip for mine, since i figured the OS is well buggered, or maybe some of the buttons are shorting them selves.
ive attempted cold starts and hard resets to no avail.
Thanks in advance.
