Emax II RIP?

2009-11-06 by Daniel Baum

Hi all,

My Emax II keyboard seems to have had it.

When I turn it on, all of the LEDs flash and click. I have not left it on 
long enough to see what happens next. The actual catalyst for this seems to 
have been that I moved the keyboard stand slightly so I could get to the 
plugs at the back.

I opened it up and nothing appears obviously loose or burnt. I removed the 
spade connectors connecting the power supply to the wall, and removed a 
small amount of corrosion. I also removed and reseated the other power 
supply connectors.

Just to see what would happen, I disconnected the hard disk.

None of the above made any difference, so my Emax II is in very large paper 
weight  mode.

This happened once before, and then stopped on its own. That time it was 
also immediately after moving it, so it would appear there is something 
loose.

Has anyone encountered this and have an idea what it might be?

Thanks,

D.
