FA 06 powering off and on

20 May 2018, 09:22

HELP! My FA 06 has recently been rebooting or powering on/off while I'm playing. Started doing this a couple of weeks ago. Then didn't do it for a while then last night at a gig it rebooted 3 times inside of 10 minutes. I switched keyboards and finished the gig. Then I plugged the FA back in and let it sit while we packed up and it didn't reboot or lose power for the next 45 minutes. I have jiggled the power cable at every connection point and nothing happens. Any ideas?

The first thing to do is to try another AC adapter.

If you're gigging you should really have a couple of spares anyway, so buy some.

If that doesn't solve the problem then you can move on to other possibilities.

There's a slight possibility it could be a current draw problem, but it's more likely bad power supply or horror of horrors, the power receptacle socket (and jiggling those things is just asking to break more stuff loose inside).

I agree - buy another power supply and see if problem continues. May be time for service :-(

Unfortunately I am still having sudden power on/off issues. My FA 06 will just power off and on randomly. I have used different power adapters-same result. I have tried to recreate the problem by jiggling the power socket etc. not able to reproduce. I can't even seem to find out what warranty these things have on them after a long search. Any ideas? Help, I have gigs coming up and I can't use a keyboard that will crap out at any time.
