...turned on my K5, and just as I mentioned in the title, no sound and a blank display! yesterday it was fine.
tried to power on and off but nothing changed, except for one single time, when the display showed some garbage, then nothing... any hint? what could be?

- power cable - fuse inside - power supply - el. caps, power regulators - check output voltages - transformer - lose connector - reseat - dirty or oxidized connector - c lean & reseat - damaged OS in Eprom - reseat all IC's in sockets - dead backup battery - replace it - garbage in RAM - send good data by MIDI, factory data for example here: http://www.kawaius.com/Downloads/download_archive-2.html - lot of other reasons...

test for blown fuses in supply then test for ripple no load test of psu. that would be the first thing to check once you have a healthy supply then move onto other parts 90% of the time its failing psu filter caps after the rectifier
