Kronos suddenly not booting up

Post by jeffjazzwraight »

Hi Folks,

Well I promised a follow up so here we go...…

It was a Power Supply failure (as I thought).

Got a reasonable bill in the circumstances - The power supply board & loom was 155.96 Korg have estimated 1 & a half hours for the work @ £60 ph. The initial inspection fee is taken off as I am having the work done. So total plus VAT is £259.15 payable when the work is finished (hopefully in the next day or so)

All I have to do now is take another drive up to Milton Keynes when Kronos is ready. I think I might go via the A34 to Oxford & on up just to avoid the M25.

Hope this gives you folks out there in Kronosland an inkling of how you go about sorting repairs.

All the best folks

Jeff :D

Hi Jeff, thanks for the follow up. Good that you are getting your K repaired, should give you several years of enjoyment.

Your details on the PSU failure will also guide other K owners, if they get similar
symptoms. Looking at your 1st post, it appeared the PSU was beginning to fail.

Kronos suddenly not booting up

Post by jeffjazzwraight »

Hi Folks,

Just to close the dialogue on this...………..

I picked up my Kronos from Korg this morning. It's back in my little studio and up and running.

I had a pretty good drive from Sussex via Southampton-A34-Oxford-Buckingham and the A421 pretty much goes all the way to Korg in Milton Keynes - Much better than the M25 although maybe 40 more miles!!

Korg are a very good firm to deal with. Most helpful in every way.

Well, there you go. End of Saga!

All the best folks.

Does anyone know where you can buy a spare power supply for the original Kronos? It's an Enhance Electronics ENO-1612 open-frame supply...I've tried to contact EnhanceUSA several times, but they never answer my emails...and $295 from Korg seems a little steep for a 120W power supply...???

Thanks for the link, pedro5...Well, that's certainly a better price for the power supply than Korg has...I sent another inquiry to EnhanceUSA this morning, and they responded saying that the ENO-1612 is not a standard product, so they don't have it in stock...maybe they can make one for me the next time they do a special build...
