Akai S1000 / S1100 samplers

Hi,

I just got an s1100 with an internal hard drive... unit looks like it 
has been taken care of but I can't get the thing to power on.  I opened 
it and noticed that the power supply's little red light lights on when 
I connect it to the wall.. but that's it.  It doesn't do anything when 
I press the switch.  Does anybody know what it could be?  I know it can 
probably be the switch, but anything else?

Thanks!

What about the frontal lights? It could be a damaged power supply too, 
or a dead IC. Mine had a damaged IC and was unable to power up because this.

Hey,

Thanks for the response.  Fortunately I was able to fix 
the "problem".  All I had to do was move some of the power supply 
cables around and then it turned on like magic! Man, that was a good 
deal for me.  $25 with 16mb and 80gb hdd... weeee!!!

Great! :) Congratulations. BTW, please, can you check something for me? 
I have a s1100 too, but it came with the XLR cables unsoldered. Can you 
take a pic of the wires and tell me where to solder the three wires? Or 
just take a look at the colors and the order. Please! :)

Manu

Damn... I'm sorry, but I already closed and racked it and I'm too 
lazy to take it out and open it again.  Maybe you can figure it out 
by looking at this http://colomar.com/Shavano/xlr_cable.html .  Hope 
that helps and good luck.

Lol :) No problem. But in fact you don't need to open it, just unscrew 
the XLR connector :) Please and re-please with candy and chocolate? ;)

Manu

Ok, I dont' mind opening that up.

If you're facing the sampler and you pull out the connector so you can 
see the top of the inside of it, then the white cable should be on the 
left connector, the pink should be on the bottom middle connector and 
the black should be on the right connector.  There is an orange chip 
that connects from the black cable's connector to the top middle 
connector (for some reason there are 4 connectors in total).  I took a 
picture with my cheapo cell phone.  I'll e-mail it to you hopefully 
that'll help.
