My kingKorg won't power on

Post by Hide24 »

Hi,
Recently I had one encoder broken of my KK, and I bought new one to replace it.
But just after do it I tried to turn on the synth without success.
I bought a new adapter, but nothing changed. I'm trying to figure it out where is the fuse, but I can't see any in any of the circuit boards.
Anyone knows what could be the problem?
Thank you very much.

It could be any one of a number of possibilities, including incorrect reassembly, broken solder joints, interconnecting cables being disturbed leading to developing a fault, electrostatic damage to delicate components, physical damage to surface mount component(s). It might be best to take it to a keyboard repair technician.

Hi,

I bought second hand KingKorg on this week, it was mutilated in transport and did not start at all. :/

Something rattled inside when i lifted it, from side to side

I opened bottom shell and found out that dsp-chip was loose(it did not have anything to keep it still). I mounted the chip back on and put some pc-case screw holders at it(3pcs).
And it worked after that.

Could it be that same problem?
