Hummm.. to a point i guess. You could certainly test for any voltages on the supply rails that are present. Dont think anyones got any schematics for the xl so where a bit in the dark about that one.. The only other way is to get the model No. of the PSU, track down that company that sells them and try to get some tech data for the supply. That should help no end. >I could maybe borrow a circuit tester...would that > help me source the problem? As long as you know what your doing with it and know where to look! >is this common psu fault easy to repair.... Not done one myself, but i dont think it will be anything to major. There are a few classic problems with SMPS (The PSU) >I know someone else who repairs TVs etc...maybe they could > do it? I know Might well be able to. Theres SMPS's in TV's these days, if he knows those he shouldnt have to much difficulty in fault finding the XL's PSU. >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 There are a few synth repair places about, proberly a few in london and i know of 1 up north.
