Korg Forums

Hi all,

I have been using my MicroKorg with 9V PSU for about a year exclusively.

However the other day I plugged in some brand new batteries and the device does not power on.

---I didn't leave old batteries in the synth to go gooey and crusty. The last time it had batteries in it, it worked.----

I looked through the manual but it didn't seem to have any information on battery related settings in the synth menu.

A guess would be something wrong with a wiring connection.

Has this issue occured to anybody else?

Thanks in advance.

Does the microKorg still work with the PSU?

If so and the batteries are well placed and really not suspicious (try another set?), I would think that there is a broken wire from the battery compartment to the main board.

Good luck
