Roland XP-50 burnt smell & display flickering
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>I have a Roland XP-50 that was on for a while today, I was playing it like normal and I went away for a minute, came back and noticed the screen was dimming/flickering, and it started stinking like ozone or some kind of fishy smell, seemingly coming from the far left side. I turned it off and unplugged it since I figured one of the electrolytic caps may have just burst. Any idea what can be done to repair it? it's getting pretty long in the tooth, a few months ago I was considering picking up a spare XP-50 for parts and now I'm really regretting not having done that. Any recommendations for a reputable repair shop in California?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Short_Telephone"> /u/Short_Telephone </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/r0smzg/roland_xp50_burnt_smell_display_flickering/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/r0smzg/roland_xp50_burnt_smell_display_flickering/">[comments]</a></span>
