Any luck getting a DSP board?
@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.
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.
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.
