Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

Hi Chris,

I have a DW8000 that i bought from ebay but its not working only the 
lights seem to come on and no sound, i was wanting to repair this 
and was hoping it was just the battery but i guess it could be more, 
does anyone know who would look at it for me as i dont really want 
to break it for parts if its just something silly...sorry for the 
high jacking of the thread...

John.
