Korg Mono/Poly

Hi there,

a few minutes after I power up my Mono/Poly, the back-panel (where there's the big white KORG logo) become very hot. After 20/30 minutes it's so hot I can barely keep my hand on it. I have no functional problems at the moment but I suspect this could lead me to future issues.

What do you guys think? Do you think it could be a "only partially" working component in the power supply that is causing the problem?

Thank you

I have the same thing, its normal from what ive heard

Hmmm mine doesn’t get that hot at all. It sounds like the voltage reg./transistors in the power supply have to dissipate a lot of wattage? What kind of voltage source do you connect the M/P to? 240 volts?

Jeppe

I Had a 240v monopoly that got also very warm. This is "normal".
However I did change the power supply to something similar and now it is much much cooler.
