Machinedrum Died last night

Machinedrum Died last night

2003-03-30 by celicagt2000rd

I was in the middle of using my 3 day old Machinedrum last night when 
it made a buzz noise and shut off.  Like a short circuit.  I've heard 
there were a bunch that had bad fuses.  I was wondering how Elektron 
has handled this.  Will I have to pay for shipping back to them, or 
is it something I can replace myself.  Fuses are fairly straight 
foward and if it'll save me the shipping costs back to Sweeden I'd 
rather do it myself.  Does this sound like it could be the problem.  
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Rick

Yes, fuses that go out make a little noise then nothing if you switch the
unit on/off

If there is any light after it's not the fuse.

Could still be something else, but the fuse is a good candidate.

All these stories of MD dieing.  It scares me even though I haven't 
turned mine on for two days.  Been resting.

If it has a bad fuse it won't change a thing it'll blow anyway one day.
So you'd better have fun with it :)
