Chroma Polaris Lights up, but makes no sound.

2014-04-18 by merolasteve

Hi everyone. I joined up in anticipation of buying a non-working Polaris. I now have it in my possession.

It is in great cosmetic, but non-working shape. When I power it on just about all the LEDs light up, but that is about it. Pressing the buttons does nothing and the keys and sliders don't do anything either. I tried the cold and warm reset, but nothing happened. I have not done the full reset, although since the buttons do not appear to work I don't know if that would work. I wanted to check here to see what the next step is. I did a few searches, but could not find a similar problem. I have not opened it up yet because I heard that can possibly damage the membrane connections further. The only sound is a constant, faint hum/noise sound. Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated.

Thank you
Steve
