Hi, Just joined to see if i could get some help. My CZ-101 started to freeze up on me on a few seconds after power-up. When i add power its fine then a few seconds later i hear a high pitched click come from the inside right near where the AC adapter plugs in. Any Ideas? thanks! alex

That click is a mechanical sound rather than an electronic one and is probably coming from a relay or some kind of thermal cutoff device. Are you using the correct power supply? Simon

There is also a classic sound a bad capacitor makes. It whines as it tries to charge then it snaps when it finally shorts. Best to have a look. Make sure you have glasses on if you power it up sometimes they blow up.

i agree that it is likely on the mechanical end of things. i do have the correct power supply but when i found it, it had a 13v instead of a 9v plugged into it. thanks! alex --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "Simon Beck" <simon@...> wrote: > > That click is a mechanical sound rather than an electronic one and is probably coming from a relay or some kind of thermal cutoff device.

that might be it. i do not really hear the whine but it does snap after as if it just charged up. when i found it a 13v instead of a 9v adapter was plugged into it, i got the 9v now... can't say i can id a capacitor on a board, when i opened it up nothing showed damage. thanks! alex --- In CZsynth@yahoogroups.com, "narfman96" <narfman96@...> wrote:
