Re: [CZsynth] Dead CZ-5000

2018-09-14 by Les Morey

I don't see any externally accessible fuse on the machine.  I'm guessing there must be some kind of fuse for the power supply.  Do I need to take the case apart to get at it?

It seems a power supply issue. Maybe it’s quite obvious but have you checked if the fuse is blown?

Hi all, I've got a CZ-5000 that I've had for decades, but haven't used it in quite a while, although it's been in my climate controlled studio.  I went to turn it on, and no response, no LCD indications, no lights, nothing.  I have very limited electronics skills but a decent sense of adventure, any suggestions for things to try?  (I've already tried the obvious different outlets/power cords).  I haven't taken it apart yet at all.

I hate to see it go, but if I don't have any luck I might take it over to Syntaur (I'm a couple of hours from them) and see what they'd give me for a dead CZ, with the hope that they would eventually fix it and let someone else enjoy it.

Thanks for any suggestions--
