I have an Ensoniq MR Rack. When I turn on screen blinks and nothing comes on. It continues every 2-3 seconds to blink with a slight blip sound from the headphone jack. Any thoughts as to repairs? Is it the screen, internal battery, or possibly power supply?
Thoughts on where to start???
Thanks!
sounds like the power supply. you would get a low battery indication if it was the battery, which is used to store one’s patches in the ram memory. My indicator goes on when its going through its startup procedures.
the power supplies on the rack are mighty small and have little in the way of electrolytics compared to older units (like the ASR-10 rack) you can contact thesoniq.com about that issue. he may be the last one standing as far as repairing ensoniq units. He was the service tech when they were still around.
Thanks Steve. It appears that I unplugged the cables (several times) going to the display screen and to the main board and the screen lite up like a Christmas tree. So, we may have corrected that issue. I do have another topic on the forum on this rack module that still needs repairs. That is the distorted sound out of the outputs and headphones. I’ll look at your comments as to right direction.
Thank you for your help/response! You guys are awesome!
