OK... I managed to get the Battery pack removed (plastic Holder), 3 Screws from the Large Electronics case inside... there seems to be ONE more accessible through the cutout for the battery case... BUT only a very small 90Deg #1 Phillips looks like it would work... Any tips folks... My tuner is wigging out and it seems to be a loose ribbon cable into the electronics case... the issue being the connection is at the lower bout end of the casing... meaning can't see only feel what seems to be a modular connection with nothing in it... the interesting thing is - the ribbon cable seems to be plugged in somewhere... All I need looks to be this last screw removed to get access to everything,,,

Ovation GuRus... Help Please (yes replaced Battery several times with BRAND new ones and performed calibration etc)

Does anybody know what the Chromatic lights rolling back and forth and never stopping means?

I think the tuner is searching for the note. I had problems with my Optima turning on by itself. I never found the Gremlin and sold the guitar with the Optima. In addition to that electronic bug, I didn't like the small print on the tuner. Otherwise, the Optima was a great preamp.

It's out of the guitar and I simply have been testing it... For about 3 months I have had to use a handheld tuner as it was claiming an A was a C etc after 20 seconds of running through all the lights...

Now it's sitting on my desk (all parts plugged in) I insert Battery and the lights go nuts and netver stop
