KORG X50 OVERHEATING

Post by Matt Bak »

Hi,

I bought X50 yesterday at some London music shop.
I have 2 problems with it:

1. the keyboard's electrical contact area is overheating. is it normal?

2. what the package should contain? I've got only keyboard and power cable- no manual, no software nor USB cable. did I miss something?

Any advice?

Thank you

Matt

Did you buy it under the assumption it was New?

Should have also gotten the software cd and manual. No USB cable comes with it, atleast mine didn't.

If you paid full price and told it was New, I'd head back to that shop if I were you.

And as far as overheating....does it malfunction?

The microX's electrical contact area is overheating, too. Other microx owners reply me to notice the same. Maybe it's normal.

Bye

Mine overheats too... without a malfunction of course:) In Europe The box contains the keyboard, driver Installation CD (which is at least 4 versions older than the one on the internet), an ill-defined User manual (explaining modulation before ADSR, so I guess you better read it from right to left :-k ) and Power cable. Of course in the US you may get a Korg OASYS as a side gift. :lol:

Mine definitely runs hot, I think its a design issue but can't think of any adverse consequences perhaps a decreased lifespan
