Thanks for all the help, you guys are life savers ( the lives of Emax samplers! )
So it looks like I need a new PSU. Jammie, do you have info on the replacement
PSU or a link to the company?
Thanks again for your time.

week over time this produces a tone of about 10khz to 20khz very
annoying just replace the back light the german company e-foil make
various el strips for different lcds the one for the emax 1 and 2
they cost 16 euros
you can add a high frequency noise suppressor cap between the positive
and earth on the el connections as a back up
to replace all the caps is going to cost about £20
some of the transistors and ic chips on the psu are no longer made
and cost the earth very expensive to get hold of some and minimum
order is 10
i found a brand new replacement switching psu it senses the voltage
and works to that voltage
its regulated supplies and they come with 3 year manufacturers
warranty they sit in exactly the same place as old psu and cost £55
> It sounds like a possible buggy power transformer. . have you had any
problems ie: jumbled screen letters, jittery lights, or any red led's
stuck "on" from time to time? I would definitely try a re-cap on the
PSU first and go from there. I believe there was also someone here in
the group that knows where to get new replacement PSU's that will work
w/ EMAX1 and EMAXII.
