Emax II power problem.

Emax II power problem.

2010-06-28 by Reinaldo

Ok, I have this Emax II from eBay, the guy framed me basically but that is not the case.

The Emax powers up for a minute and then it shuts down itself again. There is a "click" sound. It powers up itself with another click and so on.

If I press my hand against the area where the SAMPLE menu is, the keyboard stays working just fine. It seems like a loose connection from the shipping.

I opened the keyboard and noticed the sound is coming from the blue board where the 8 audio outputs are located. Either that or from the power supply. 

I would like to know a bit more before going to a repair shop. I didn't see any loose wire, no damaged or blended component. 

It may be a condenser but the thing is that when I press on top of the keyboard the thing works well. Probably I have to take everything apart and get to the main board.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

I took apart the entire Emax II. I fixed a led that was a bit loose on the front panel and that was it. Put everything back together again and that was it. The Emax is working perfectly.

I do not believe it was the led but who knows. The led is not working right now I realized, it was the led light besides the ENTER key. 

But I have my Emax II back.
