Emax

Sounds like you blew the power supply, probably just one side of the voltages, possibly just the fuse which is there to protect such things.  

try checking/swapping the fuse, and see if that does it, but it is certainly a power supply thing.  should be fixable.

  Subject: [emax] My DX-7 killed my Emax.


  Hello everyone.

  I have an odd situation at hand and I'd like some assistance if possible. 

  The other night I was running my MC-202 off the clock output of my
  emax. Things were going pretty good and much to my surprise it worked.
  Well when I was done I removed the cable from the MC-202 not thinking
  much of it. I turned the MC-202 off and started wrapping the cable
  when all of a sudden:

  ZZZAP!

  Confused (and very worried due to the silence) I looked and the emax
  and it stopped running. I looked at the other end of the cable and it
  was resting on top of the DX-7. My DX-7 is made of metal. Done. 

  My MC-202 and DX-7 are completely fine. My emax is dead. 

  All of the LEDs are on when the unit is powered up, the display has a
  solid black bar, and there is no drive activity. I understand this can
  mean a million and one things but has anyone had a similar issue and
  is there anything I can do to fix / narrow the problem? I tried to
  contact EPS electronics for possible repair but I have not heard
  anything despite numerous attempts at contact. Are they even still in
  business?

  I also own an SP-12 Turbo that needs repair. Not sure what the issue
  is but the unit powers up fine, the metronome sounds, nothing but a
  faint "tick" or "pop" is heard when the pads are struck however and
  the sample input display is at 100% volume (black bar).

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get these
  units running once again and give 'em a proper home. 

  I am also going to be posting on other boards as well so apologies for
  the possible "cross-posting".

  Thanks in advance,
  -John
