Help: Looking for components in KP3 board

Post by mmattamala »

Hi all, I got a cheap faulty KP3. Inspecting the board, I realized someone massacred this boy and it's missing a few components apparently related to the power supply. I have a picture which was taken from the inner side, right next to the DSP: https://i.imgur.com/0HySx3R.jpg

I was wondering if someone (who has opened a KP3 before) could post a similar picture or give me more info about the missing components:
- C35: SMD capacitor
- C40: electrolytic capacitor
- IC8: chip
- F1: fuse?

The picture of a KP3+ posted in this post ( http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpbb2/ ... p?t=119056 ) looks similar, but I can't recognize anything apart from C40 (which seems to be a 100uF capacitor).

I don't see any other part fried, so I hope it can come back to life if I manage to find those.

Thanks!

Hi,

Look in the service manual.
