microKorg won't turn on.

My microKorg was working fine, and then all of a sudden it would not turn on. When I plug it in and hit power, the two lights in the "AUDIO IN" box light up briefly then go out. That's it. I know it isn't the adapter, because it works with other devices. Any ideas? Does this sound like something that might be fixable, or is it shot?

are you using the original Korg power supply? if not, what are the exact specs on the PS that you're using? also, i know it's obvious, but try a different outlet too, somewhere else in the house.

i'm having the same problem. it started happening after the wrong voltage adapter was used. a 12v instead of the 9v

in this case you might have destroyed it. going over the voltage can blow the circuits.. get an alesis micron, youll never go back.

I'm using the original adapter (and various power supplies).
