EM-1 service manual - bootup problem
I've contacted Korg about this repeatedly, but get no response!
I've lost the original power supply of the EM-1 and think I might have damaged the circuitry by trying a wrong replacement.
The machine boots up, but the letters ELECTRIBE keep dancing through the screen without the electribe fully booting up. No sound is to be heard.
I have someone who might be able to fix it but he needs the service manual....
Anybody have any tips?
Thx

Maybe you can find something in owners manual:

Try to find or make power supply with right power, voltage and polarity.
Do not hold me to the word, but if it does not help, maybe something is f***ed up with data, so u can try to restore default factory data set. find in manual how to do it.

You must have a different ES-1 to the one I have here right in front of me that takes SmartMedia cards.

The problem was with my KP3 after all. I'm just going to go and sulk off into the shadows, eating my fair share of humble pie right now.
