Microkorg Problem

    Hi all,

    We have a Microkorg for our band and one day it just stopped working, it turns on fine and everything seems ok but no sound comes out. It had been working perfectly only moments before and then we went to press the keys and...nothing.

    If anyone is a dab hand at electornics and fancies their chances at opening it up and can fix it, we could throw them a few quid! We went into musicmaker and they basically told us its more hassle than its worth and they are 200+ to buy secnd hand.

    So if anyone fancies having a look, we will pay you if you can fix it! Getting paid to open up an instrument and fiddle, where would ya get it! :D

    Does the stereo output or headphone output work?

    If so its probably just a bad output.

    If not it may be a bit more serious.

    Do you have another power adaptor you can try with it? That can sometimes be the cause, even if the On light comes on.
    If you don't, I can lend you one to try, if you're around Dublin 4.
