Re: [Doepfer_a100] Post 'fuse' weirdness

2009-02-04 by Derek Holzer

My simple advice is to get a multimeter and learn how to use it. Check 
for shorts between your power rails, and maybe take your problem A-190 
and the 5V regulator out of the case and check for shorts between the 
power pins there as well. If all this is too much to figure out on your 
own, then take it to an electronics specialist and let them do it for 
you. Of course, if it's still under warranty you could send it all in 
for service.

Best!
