The Digital Signal Processing board is basically the brains of this little brat. Fortunately we can replace this kind of brain if it should malfunction at some point.

Can you advise me where I can order DSP board?
Hi Ju-seok Jang, unfortunately we don’t sell this spare part. You might be able to reach Teenage Engineering directly and get an answer from them where to purchase that part.
I reached out to teenage engineering a month ago about ordering a replacement but they still haven’t responded. Pretty unacceptable seeing as they have a “do it yourself!” ethos for their $1,000 device…
Hi! Did you find a solution? I have the same issue. Thanks!
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.
