Akai S700 OS 1.6 EPROM Firmware Upgrade KIT

Upgrade your Akai S700 sampler with the official OS firmware version 1.6—this is the latest known firmware released by Akai for the S700 model.

  • One brand new EPROM chip programmed with OS version 1.6 firmware.
  • Chip clearly labeled for correct installation.
  • Shipped in ESD-safe packaging with printed installation instructions and ESD handling guidance included.

Important: Only the EPROM upgrade chip is supplied; the Akai S700 sampler unit itself is not included.

Compatibility Notice

This upgrade is intended primarily for use with the SXM-007X RAM backup board. If your S700 can retain samples in memory when powered off, you likely already have this upgrade installed.

If your unit does not have the RAM backup board installed, this OS 1.6 upgrade will have no functional benefit. Please verify your hardware before purchasing.

Installation Guidance

  • Observe ESD precautions; chip ships in ESD-safe packaging.
  • Install the chip carefully with correct orientation; be sure to note the marked orientation notch on the EPROM.
  • Contact me before purchase for installation help or compatibility questions.

Responsibility & Buyer Research

All information is accurate to the best of my knowledge. Buyers are encouraged to independently verify compatibility and installation requirements for their equipment. EPROM upgrades should ideally be installed by qualified technicians or experienced users. The seller cannot assume responsibility for damage caused by improper installation or insufficient technical expertise. Please contact me before buying if uncertain—I’m happy to help!

Quality & Guarantee

  • The EPROM chip is freshly programmed, individually tested, and shipped in ESD-safe packaging.
  • Only new, high-quality components supplied—never recycled or refurbished.

Availability

Made to order; please allow time for meticulous programming, testing, and secure packaging before shipment.

Sales Policy

  • All Sales Final: EPROM upgrade chips are sold new and tested. Returns cannot be accepted after shipment or installation. Once installed, chips become "used" and cannot be resold as new.
  • Pre-Sale Support: Please message with any compatibility or installation questions before buying—I’m happy to help ensure you receive the correct upgrade.
