My boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 was working fine when connected to the 9V DC input, but not working on batteries. Here's how I've debugged and fixed the issue.

The guide is marked as difficult because it requires soldering, but it’s just a simple soldering job, other than that assembling and disassembling is easy and straightforward.

  1. Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Reproducing the problem: 手順 1、 2の画像 1 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Reproducing the problem: 手順 1、 2の画像 2
    • With the 9V DC input connected, the unit switches on correctly

    • When on batteries, the pedal will not work unless a jack is plugged into the input (for battery saving). However, in this case the unit won't work.

    • Note that instead of a 9V battery I'm using alligator clips to connect the battery connector to my DC power source at 9V, which does the same.

    • Turn the pedal upside down and remove the 4 screws in the corners with a regular Phillips screwdriver

  3. Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Access the PCB: 手順 3、 2の画像 1 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Access the PCB: 手順 3、 2の画像 2
    • Remove the plastic lid and lift the circuit board. There are no delicate connections but there are cables connecting it to the other PCB, so don't pull too hard and don't separate them completely.

  4. Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Test the cable connections: 手順 4、 3の画像 1 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Test the cable connections: 手順 4、 3の画像 2 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Test the cable connections: 手順 4、 3の画像 3
    • From the battery connection, test continuity with a multimeter to where the cable is soldered to the PCB, input connector, etc...

    • For me, all of these connections worked fine

  5. Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Test the PCB traces: 手順 5、 3の画像 1 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Test the PCB traces: 手順 5、 3の画像 2 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Test the PCB traces: 手順 5、 3の画像 3
    • Starting where the cable is soldered to the PCB, follow the traces checking for continuity.

    • In my case I found one that was not connected, I cleaned it with a bit of isopropyl alcohol, and looked with a magnifying glass to reveal what looks like a crack on the trace.

  6. Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Short the contact pads: 手順 6、 2の画像 1 Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Short the contact pads: 手順 6、 2の画像 2
    • Solder a thin piece of solid wire between the two contact pads that should be in touch by the trace

  7. Boss Chromatic Tuner TU-2 Fix battery connection, Check the soldering: 手順 7、 1の画像 1
    • Test for continuity between the two pads that have been joined

    • Make sure no other contacts have been affected by the soldering

    • Insert a battery (I'm still using my DC power source) and check that the unit powers up

    • Don't forget to add a jack to the input or the unit won't power up on batteries

終わりに

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
