Powered up my Asys system per usual today and... POOF! I quickly powered off my case and unplugged it, then removed all the modules to look. The smoke came from the comb filter, which now has a nicely toasted capacitor at C14 on the PCB. Didn't try to re-power it up. I plugged the remaining modules in one by one to test them and my reverb/chorus and 2 gate delay modules appear to be gone too. The -12v fuse on the left side of the power distribution board is blown. Grrrrr.... I'm using an RS15 case that I purchased new less than 2 months ago. Nothing was plugged in incorrectly and all the pins were lined up fine. I'm guessing there was some sort of short, though I have no idea what caused it. Is this a common issue with the RS15? At least my PSG and sequencer seem to have survived...
