Korg 01wFD turning off, transformer problem?

Post by Riva Lima »

I've had this 01wfd for a long time, and it has a chronic problem... before, when I turned it on, it made some crazy noises when touching the keys, and after a few minutes, the noise disappeared, it was like everyone the internal timbres started to loop when playing a single key... and I noticed that the transformer is heating up, causing it to turn off by itself... is it transformer problem? I await ideas

The problem is with the transformer because normally, it should not make any of these sounds. I recommend you get in touch with some people who know how these devices work. Or you can ask for help from the guys from majorcooling.com.They are professionals in this field, so I'm sure they will be glad to give you a hand. Still, if you feel confident enough about yourself, you can try to repair the transformer yourself. Anyway, I am sure that the problem is solvable, so you should not worry.
