Casio Collectors

any type of test equipment i should or can buy? i dont even know what transistors, capacitors , resistors look like, and i didnt COMPLETELY take it apart...just enough so i could see the power plug, left all the pcb's intact just so i didnt screw anything else up....i also noticed a green wire coming from one of the boards and connected to the casing....is this some type of ground wire?, i noticed when i took the casing off that it had been pinched...almost smashed in between one of the screw holes, could that be an issue? guess i could always send pics.. forgive me for my lack of terminology im by no means an electronics guy, ..maybe i should look into learning , bein into synths and elec. instruments :)

I recently fixed mine - had a cooked transistor.  Pretty easy to spot as the area around it was all black.  I don't think this keyboard has a voltage regulator inside like most equipment.  I checked the AC adapter I used and it was putting out like 13.5V.  I think that's what killed it.

>i have a casio ht 6000 here that until last month was working perfect, and now it just will not power on with an AC or batteries, and the only thing i can think of that i might have done is plugged it in with the wrong AC power adapter when i was re-arranging my set up , as i use several universal ones set to different polarities and volts. i dont even know where to start with this, i've called several local electronics repair guys (yea right) so maybe someone here can point me in the right direction as i dont even know how to go about testing this unit, or what to test for that matter....any help would be appreciated ,.....i really dont wanna throw this gem away.
