Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Could it have been slightly damp,or subject to a change in temperature? It's usually best to leave (unused) electronics to acclimatize to where they are going to be used. Still - a pleasant surprise.  Good one Dan.

    Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!  Amazingly (to me), the suggestion below worked--no smoke, just lights and the trusty BRASS ENS patch after leaving it on (apparently dead) for an hour or so.  I suppose there is a better electronics explanation than it was just sulking about its lack of use, but whatever it is, the CZ now powers on instantly upon repeated attempts, even after sitting for a few hours unplugged.  There may be issues lurking in there that will re-emerge, but in the meantime I'll just try to boot it up regularly and play some 80's new wave on it to keep it happy.
Thanks again, Dan and all!

- Leave the instrument on for few hours, maybe it needs it if it was not used for long time. But stay near and watch it, if any problem occurs (smoke or so), switch it off.
