yamaha electone 200t piano wont start

Church just bought from us.

When we turned it on we could hear it booting up,
then a small pop and then silence. No lights on
any buttons.

What to do?

Refund their money...

Does it use an outboard power brick, or does it have an AC cord directly to the case? Either way, lazy/high ESR caps can cause this. Heating the brick or power supply a bit with a hair dryer may get it to start. If so, recap the power supply. Other than that you'd probably need a schematic at least.

That would be my answer too.

They want something that works. Every time.

Once refunded, fix the organ properly - then sell it with a warranty.

I believe there are now pills you can take when your organ won't start.

You say your keyboard needs cleaning now that your organ starts? I
think that's called oversharing.

I'd say this little chat's taken a right turn straight
into the Red Light district if you ask me!

In article <fjq8pddbbealffn88...@4ax.com>,

Maybe it's got something to do with the naked organist from the Monty
Python gang?

Would you rather have Rose's on your piano -or- tulips on your organ?

We bought our son a Moog (I think) keyboard at a church rummage sale.
The pastor swore it worked. It didn't, but Son replaced the power
supply with one from a computer and it worked fine thereafter.

Maybe this is karma...
