Ensemble Grand MK3. help!


 

Hi.

I have an Ensemble Grand, MK111 which has given up the ghost.? I live in Bulgaria, and cannot find anyone here to service it.

It is of course massively heavy, and I don't fancy moving it, unless it is going to somewhere near who I think might be able to fix it.

Is this even the right forum for the Ensemble series?

I have other Kurzweil products, so I thought to try here as I am a member of this forum. ( K1200 pro and PC3 and other rack modules.)

I can try to fix it myself,? however, I shall need to access the main board, but am unsure even how to do that,

any help or direction gratefully received.

regards and Happy New Year.

The group home page says "Other Kurzweil products welcome include [...] EGP, Mark III ?& IV [...]" so I will try to help here.
?
Kurzweil's web site distributors list () has Gema Music in Sofia as their Bulgarian distributor.
Gema Music's web site, ,? (per Google Translate, at least) says "We provide warranty and post-warranty service."
?
If that's no help, the owner's manual is online:
The owner's manual strikes me as being rather sparse. I came up empty searching for a service manual online.
?
Does the power LED come on? If not, the problem could be the AC adapter, an internal fuse, or (less likely) the power switch.
If the power LED lights but no sound comes from the speakers, does the headphone out work?
If the headphone out works, but not the speakers, the problem is likely with the audio amplifier.
?
If neither speakers nor headphone out works, my next step would be to open it up and start looking for bulging or leaking capacitors, any area on the circuit boards with corrosion, charring, or melting, or an internal battery that has discharged or leaked.
Take lots of photos as you disassemble! Use small containers to keep groups of screws together.

I also found an interesting page () by a person who couldn't get the sound generation to work but salvaged the key bed, control wheels, and associated circuitry as a MIDI controller.


 

Hi Jerome..



Nothing comes on, no speaker sound, no LCD display, no headphones..

I think leaking or swollen caps, and look for charring or combustion evidence on the board,,

I read here on an expander topic that tiny thin wire soldered to connect any broken tracks etc.? That is do-able.

Very many thanks for the tips and advice.

best regards
