Hey guys!
Just bought a Microkorg but i have a little problem with it. When i hook up a pair of headphones i only hear it in my left earbud. It stays the same if i put it in de headphone, the left/mono or right out.
Can somebody help me?

sorry but this sounds more likely to be your headphones or adaptor,
are you using a 'small to big' jack adaptor for your earphones? if so, make sure it is a stereo one (the jack plug should have three bands - TRS (Tip, Ring, Sleeve), not just tip and sleeve).
also make sure that it is plugged in all the way, and yes you should be using the headphones jack for your headphones.

A lot of people seem to have this problem, and at least for me the fix was really easy! Took like 15 minutes!
1 Unplug the thing of course.
2 Remove all the screws off the back panel, they're all the same, and took the back off. No need to unplug the battery wire
3 Then just remove the four silver screws from the board that the headphones jack is soldered onto
4 reseat that board so that it was making nice contact with the metal pieces it screws into
5 then screw it back in, pretty tightly but without forcing it or stripping the screws
6 at this point it's a good idea to put the back on without the screws, plug it in and test it with your headphones.
7 if the sound is back, unplug it and screw the backing back on!
Please respond if this worked for you so that others will have confidence that it's a good fix... maybe I just got lucky....
