Flex 6500 Schematic diagram needed

Jarek

Hi
I have a flex 6500 damaged by a storm.
I have already replaced several integrated circuits, but something is still damaged.
Does anyone have a diagram of the Flex 6500 system?

Regards, Jarek

Hi Jarek... it is highly unlikely you will find any schematics of any Flex products anywhere. I would think that Flex guards them VERY closely as it is proprietary technology.

Your better bet would be to contact the Flex Help Desk and ask for their assistance.

Hi
The Flex6500 will no longer be serviced, so I thought they would provide a diagram.
I have a Flex 1500 and there are diagrams for it on the manufacturer's website.
I think I'll put my flex as a decoration. :(
Unless I buy a working motherboard somewhere...

Hi Jarek... I think they will still attempt to service 6500s. It's just that some parts (older technology) may no longer be avaliable, so they wouldn't be able to affect a fix/repair in some cases.

It may still be worthwhile to discuss it with them. The worst that could happen is that they say they can't help you anymore...

As I understand the underlying technology, a lot of the 'motherboard' function may be built into FPGA's... and the actual units themselves may no longer be available....

A schematic probably won’t help much as much of the signal processing is software in the FPGA code.

Have you contacted Flex Service Centre in Germany, OM Jarek?

Hello everyone
Thank you for your suggestions.
I haven't contacted the service yet.
If the FPGA is damaged, unfortunately it cannot be repaired.
It's a pity, it was nice equipment.

Yes, we will still service FLEX-6500's if we have the parts.

We want to make that very clear.
