don't know. you'll have to contact Elektron.  if you're in the US, 
there's a repair facility in LA (which is cheaper to ship to than 
Sweden). if it's under warranty, you might have to pay nothing other 
than shipping. if not, it's all on you I'm afraid.

separate. but they're all soldered directly to the board right 
underneath the interface and look like a bit of a pain to replace.  IF 
you are experienced at such things and you're machine's out of 
warranty, then talk to the Elektron techs; they MAY allow you to 
replace it yourself.  they've been incredibly helpful with me doing 
some minor repairs/tweaks to my machines.

either way, your situation sucks :-(  sorry, man...

good luck!
Joe
