we are onto something here----
i turned R17 trimpot clockwise about 45 degrees clockwise and the led went on-- the control panel returned to normal Led patterns---- i went another 10 degrees and now when i start it up it flashes the bulk of the Leds once , and then stabilizes with the normal ON pattern , and controls work and the unit plays normally (so it seems) . -- i then measured the voltage as you described --it was maybe 4.8v so i turned R9 up till it neared 5v , then i was able to turn R17 down some --
now the same '10degrees past Led lighting up ' was an increase of only about 30 degrees of clockwise rotation . is there a 'balance between these trim pots? can they be set too high? or is it 'fine'.....
Does this mean the transformer or another part of the power supply system is damaged? it seems like a big adjustment since it was fine a half hour before and my other keyboard that was plugged in at the same time thru the same power strip ( a DSI Polyevolver) seems to have has some memory corruption that seems like some internal electronic damage and the factory tech guy has suggested i send it in to them for repairs.
thank you so much because this seems be solving the recent Polaris crisis-------
