K1000 GX - how to replace the fuse?
morganfisher
New member here - I've one simple question to ask:
I have a Kurzweil 1000 GX which unfortunately won¡¯t turn on any more, so I¡¯d like to try replacing the fuse.
I¡¯ve been able to pull out the entire AC socket compartment (which has an image of a fuse on it) as instructed in the manual, but once the whole thing is out, there seems no way to get inside it to access the actual fuse. I can¡¯t pull it out any further and am assuming the fuse is inside the part I¡¯ve pulled out, even though it looks like a solid block. I¡¯ve been searching everywhere for advice but have found nothing.
Thanks for any tips!!

It may not be your fuse.

There's a thing called the K1000 2-step. Every time you open up one of these units, resolder the P1 connector on the power supply board and find the output stage relay and give it a nice tap. These two issues have been responsible for a lot of the troubles these units have. The P1 connector problem is an actual design flaw -- the power supply board doesn't radiate heat in the right way, so it softens the solder on the P1 connector and creates bad connections. Some folks have removed that connector completely and hard-soldered the connection, but I haven't heard any reports about if that works long-term. If you want pictures and instructions both of these procedures are on the K1000.net site. I remember doing anything with the fuse was a bear, and I don't remember anyone having to replace it, though I did have an AX+ that had the power module fail and it went for parts. I've got two GX units that need the P1 repair done. The rest of my modules don't seem to have that problem, though it's been a while since I've been able to set my studio all the way up. But when I get things set up I'm going to pay someone to come in and resolder every single one of those connectors. (I've got four each of the Pro 1, Pro 2, and GX modules, though one GX needs an upgrade, plus a K1000 MKII Extended that's upgraded all the way) Hope this helps, Nicole -----Original Message-----
