Well done man ! Sometimes the solution is so simple !

Hi, finding the fault should be hard. Since the unit powers up fine, it means that you cant troubleshoot components with power off because everything should measure fine. When the problematic component is stressed, probably because it heats up , the fuse pops because the unit is drawing more current...

A big thanks to Mastropiero, problem solved.

I hear you buddy , unfortunately this a common tactic for many companies. I was expecting from a company that used to be a leader in music technology, to be more supportive, especially in problems that are not hardware related but due to buggy firmware that can get corrupted without user error. I am...

Decades ago , I used to be a member at Yahoo groups and I had collected and shared lots of banks/patches for the SY-22 , but unfortunately my early cd backups are mostly unreadable , so everything is lost.
If anybody can share any SY-22 banks/patches, I will appreciate it .
Many thanks

I think that this thread needs an update. It has been more than 10 days that I have contacted M-audio about this issue. I have messaged them twice but got no reply. Way to go AVID! Worst customer experience ever ! I think that professionals should avoid this company. EDIT: Just got a reply saying th...

I just got one exhibiting the same behaviour, stuck on boot , showing Venom on screen.
The service manual is on Facebook Venom group, on files section , according to a post on this page:

I hear you , a pain to work on indeed. I had a disgusting / stinky Farfisa Combo Compact that I was trying to repair and most of the transistors had broken legs. All voice cards had the cables soldered on them making them impossible to remove easily in order to repair them. I had to cut all the cabl...

I have never seen an elka panther out in the wild but its weird operating voltages got me interested. It had a look at schematics and it seems that -10V is used for the audio signal path and -24V for amp/speaker. The -24 should not be critical , my guess is that both 22V /24V or even 27V zeners woul...

I have no idea about TZ109. Diode in picture is a BZX61 type of zener diode but this is the series code and not the voltage reference. In order to find out the exact voltage, you need to read the other text printed on the diode. Usually there is an additional code like C11 ( 11 Volts), C15 ( 15Volts...

Hi Lee,
you dont mention if you have the encoder or pot edition .
Anyways , you should first contact sequential , I am sure that they will help you , they have the best support in the world.
If they dont ( I highly doubt it ) , post here and I ll help.

I am not much into rap/hip hop but I have always appreciated Public Enemy. One sound that always fascinated me was the whistling teapot sample as heard in Rebel without a pause. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fN5RX15Zhw It took me more than 30 years to find out that the sound is actually an alto s...

Great work Meener! Enjoy your DX5 !

For testing you should use a multimeter for reading resistance.
When no pressure is applied the ohm reading should be very high or infinity.
With pressure it should register somewhere between 100 Ohms-1KOhm
Good luck

Hi meener , i am afraid you got the wrong connector. This type of connector looks like it needs metal contacts in order to work. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41m9+M3iP0L._AC_.jpg As you can see from the above picture the FPC cable has metal contacts, your fpc cable has carbon contacts. Trying...
