RE: [emax] broken emax hd se

Hi,
1) Check the fuses - there should be an external fuse mounted next to the
IEC socket on the back.
2) If there are no front panel lights at all and the Emax doesn't get warm
(!), then the PSU should be suspected.
3) If some front panel lights come on, then these tell you what the problem
is. Its a diagnostic code.

To repair an Emax...
1) E-mu don't do any servicing anymore. They don't even have spare parts
either. They have cut right back in staff numbers as they are having a tough
time.
2) E-mu have 2 vintage product service centres in the USA.
www.eprelectronics.com in LA is the one for you.
3) There are NO more spare Emax PSU's left - however EPR may have one !
4) You can find a PC PSU that will do the job.

oh and E-mu have a new online knowledge database that has some really useful
answer on legacy kit.. www.emu.com

If the Emax has permanently expired, you can still play all the Emax factory
samples from a modern Ultra or ESI or the new Emulator 5 software sampler.
The entire factory set of Emax samples are on the EIIIX factory CDROM's Vol
10 and 11 - these can still be bought new.
