Hi Ambrosia !

To find out if the PSU is working and if you\ufffdre a tech, you have to do 
measurements by usage of the service manual only. If you\ufffde not a tech and 
have no service manual, any tech can do this for cheap.
If the PSU is o.k., I\ufffdd would invest in a cheap display foil from 
"midi-rakete" 1st ...
http://www.midi-rakete.de/ger/preise.htm

If there isn\ufffdt a Wavestation specified, don\ufffdt mind. See : "Folie nach Ma\ufffd" 
and ask for the price.
I have good experience w/ midi-rakete and in any cases of not working 
displays, it was the foil.
Sometimes it\ufffds the inverter too or only.

Most common fault of PSU is the electrolyt capacitors which isn\ufffdt a mess at 
all, -. but I don\ufffdt know exactly what kind of PSU is in the Wavestation 
\ufffdcause mine never failed up today.

P.S.: I\ufffdm living in germany too.

Hi, Scott!

So, what to do now?

Change the Power supply? How can I find out, if the display is
working, but the Power supply has a problem? Anybody got a spare PSU?

Really sad, because the Wavestation is in mint condition from the
outside, even the keys are OK so far.
I am living in Germany.

Best regards,

Ambrosia
