Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Thanks Gonz....
Is the psu the bit inside with a grey cage around it? I'm a carpenter 
by trade and I know JS about electronics....If I had a circuit tester 
I could at least see if the thing is somehow stuck in standbye 
mode....but for that to be the case the psu must be okay...is that 
what you mean?...I could maybe borrow a circuit tester...would that 
help me source the problem? is this common psu fault easy to 
repair....I know someone else who repairs TVs etc...maybe they could 
do it? I know I'm rambling on here but there aint an emu repair 
centre this side of the ocean (that I know of!)and our whole show is 
now stopped dead in its tracks--- In
