Yep. He's doing all of this, and with luck I'll have a functioning GX I can sample -- my live rig is a lot more portable, and I need a bank of GX sounds for that, with a couple very important. This machine is destined to be a bass box -- I've got a sysex file of different bass sounds culled from a lot of sound banks.

So, what I would do if this were mine, is, replace all the Caps including the ones on the Power Supply board. Check the diodes for any defects such as reverse voltage. Diodes will give a reading in only one direction e.g. anode to cathode. Also replace the output relay, since it kicked, it’s sticking inside.

?Probably one of safety caps avoiding sparkles when switching on. They can die this way after years and sometimes even cause the fire. Just replace it, it will be OK. Another one can be somewhere in PSU primary circuit, replace it as well.

Hello, folks.
So my repair guy tapped on the relay, it thunked, and he plugged it
in and pressed the power button. A capacitor right by the front power
button got hot and let all its smoke out. This can be a couple of
things -- that cap was needing replacement due to age, so it failed
when power got into the system. Or there's something else wrong that
overloaded that cap. There's also the biggest list of possible reasons -- something I don't know about.
Anyone got any ideas?
