KURZWEIL PC2x

KURZWEIL PC2x

2012-05-15 by Eugen I

Hi everyone,

My name is Eugen and I am from Sydney Australia. I purchased in an auction a KURZWEIL PC2x with unknown condition with the desire to checkit out and donate to my local church (they are in need of such instrument).
Unfortunatly I did not get too far. I managed to purchase from the local KURZWEIL dealer a power supply and some parts missing but than I notticed that does not power up. All coming on screen was some solid squares. I posted on music electronic repair forum about this and I was told that screen does not initialize. I purchased a new screen but same result. Obviously the fault is either on the main processor board (engine board) or power supply board (connector board). I spent so far over $300.00 with the parts purchased and no results.
I am pretty good with electronics but these boards have surface mounted components and I do not have the technology to work on those even if I detect the fault.
I contacted Duane at DGrepairs but he has not get back to me yet. I guess he is a very busy man.
Anyone has some used spare parts for KURZWEIL PC2x which does not need no more? I am happy to buy those. I am in the need of a working connector board and engine board. Also I have the 2 supporting walls left and rigt (under the boards) missing.
If you do please contact me. Any suggestions are more than welcome. I do have in my possesion a service manual for thsi instrument.
Thank you for your help,
Best regards from down under
EUGEN IOV
