Thought not.

Still...

I have an E-500 which switches itself off then immediately back on again
at random intervals. When it starts messing about it does it every two
minutes or so,
which is annoying to say the least.

Any ideas why this happens and what can be done to stop it?

Just a wild guess, check the output voltage of the power pack when under
load???

Bad joints in the power supply ?

Yes is certainly sounds (no pun etc) like a bad
connection/plug/socket/connector somewhere. Can you get at the
insides of it and have a good look at such things?

It's got a moulded mains plug on the power lead and a kettle lead type
connector going into the keyboard, neither of which look dodgy. I haven't
investigated further because the thought of taking the monster apart scares
me to death :-)

I'll have a look later to see if the mains input part of the keyboard comes
apart seperately with a couple of thoughtfully placed screws. Including,
perhaps, a slightly corroded fuse holder? Yeah right.

Thanks all, for the thoughts.

But...that means taking it to bits probably - the transformer's inside :-/

Still, that's got to be better than putting up with it as it is so I'll
investigate.
