EMX1 not working - display lit after reassembly
Posted: Mon Feb 04, 2019 12:41 am
Hello all
I've spent ages trying to resolve this issue, including forum searches but am stuck...
I recoated a mate's EMX1 pad contacts but on reassembly I was testing the thing at every step (it worked well but I wanted to make sure it stayed that way so I didn't have to unscrew dozens of screws again). I noticed during this process that one of the ribbon/wire connectors wasn't in fully so I made sure it was and kept on reassembling and testing... and next powerup all I got was the display LEDs coming on and no function whatsoever. Did I blow the fuse? I found this Korg bulletin stating that it was too low a current and the 1.5A should be better.

Can anyone confirm this? I've never micro soldered in my life but might try this with a 1mm tip and replacement SMD fuse. Would it be a K instead of a G? Are resettable fuses available so save hassle if it happens again?
Any info much appreciated.
Cheers
Fred
