Tried removing the battery, waiting a while, but still no LEDs, so I 
can't load any patches. Looks like it's toast, but it still produces 
a swishing sound a few cesonds after power up, so maybe only part of 
it is toast.

Anyone know where I can get a schematic? It would be handy to have a 
PDF up in the Files section.
