Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

If you're not an electronics expert, it is worth asking help to
prevent that you destroy your sampler.

Open up the sampler
on the back / left you find 2 small glass tubes with a small wire in
it. These should conduct. You can test that with the resistance meter
you find on most digital multimeters. If they dont conduct anymore -
replace them with the same type (ampere and speed should be the same).
 
Measure the voltage outputs of the power supply. If you still dont
find 5 volt and 12 volt output your power supply board (on the left)
is certainly broken and needs repair / replacement.
