Oh eck! You don't have much luck with synthesizers do you? How is the dead voice manifesting itself? Is it missing out every eight note you play or every eight key on the keyboard? If it's the former you've probably got a dead voice. If it's the latter there might be a problem with the keyboard scanner (not sure of the correct lingo). My Jupiter 8 has a dry joint somewhere in the keyboard scanning hardware and did this a while back after being in transport (even thought it was in a flight case). After much cursing and swearing I gave it a smack (on the bottom in the middle) and it started working again. I don't suggest you try this as it'll probably do more harm than good, but at the time for me the red mist was running the show.
There are people out there who can fix Jupiters still, though it'll probably cost you a fair bit. You could try fixing it yourself and sourcing the parts, but Jupiter 8s are very, very complicated beasts. There's quite a large number of PCBs, all interconnected, under it's charcoal grey case. I'd suggest you do get it repaired as Unison mode does get a bit intense after a while and you'll be missing out on the lovely pads that the Jupiter is so famous for.
