Boss DR202 behaving erratically

Ok so lately my DR202 has been giving me headaches.. playing drums while i was playing the bass part.

The bass was VERY low in the mix too.

I tried resetting the machine but to no avail..

BOSS DR202 reset (hard/ soft) procedure:

Power on while holding MUTE and ROLL.

Use the VALUE dial to select the settings you wish to have reset:

“ALL” = All internal settings restored to original

factory conditions.

“SongPattern” = Songs and patterns are restored

to their original conditions

(The contents of all User patterns and User songs will be erased).

“Kit” = The Kit is restored to its original

conditions.

“UtilityMIDI” = The Utility and MIDI settings are

restored to their original conditions.

3) When you have selected the settings to be reset, press TAP/ENTER twice.

The issue cold be dictated by a low internal battery issue: time to replace it

Remove knobs and alpha wheel, unscrew back cover screws
Remove the Alpha wheel encoder’s metal nut
Very nice shielding
Remove internal screws and here’s the offender

Use a flat headed screwsriver to push the battery out

CR3032 battery
