Hey all,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me. I want to sell my Yamaha DX 7 2FD but realized that it won't turn on. I tried to open it and look for a fuse but to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea where the fuse is located...or even if this is the problem? I know there was a battery in the original DX7. Is there one in this model too? If so, maybe that's dead...which begs the question, how do I replace that?
Any help would be great. Thanks everyone!

Re: Yamaha DX 7 2FD won't turn on!
Is there a fuse on the back panel near the power switch and cord entry point?
There will be a fuse(s) on the main power supply board, if nowhere else. Look there first.
I assume you checked the obvious things, such as the cord being inserted all the way (if it's a detachable cord), the outlet having power, etc.
There is a battery which retains the patch memory and global settings, but the synth should still power on/light up even if that is dead.
Does the LCD show anything when you turn it on?
