Korg Micro X overheating power input

Hi everyone,

I recently sold a Korg Micro X on ebay and despite the buyer stating that the synth is working absolutely fine, he's now trying to claim a refund because the power input is - in his words - overheating.

I've found a few threads on here where it's been mentioned that both the Micro X and the X50 do run hot, but that it's generally within spec and normal.

Basically I'm trying to find anything that Korg has said about this issue so that I can use this to perhaps put his mind at ease, as I haven't found anything about boards being fried or anything like that. Does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

i learned that voltages are. now 240 and 60 hz. and in the time it was 220 50hz. maybe it could be that. i have mine for 9 years now and i dont use it often because it gets hot there on the power input side. but man what a sound
