    Korg ElecTribe EMX1 Looking for some help

    Hello, I have this Korg ElecTribe EMX1 on my table.

    The story: Customer plugged DC power supply and smoke came out.
    I have Correct 9v AC Power supply now.

    I fixed/replaced F1 mosfet and IC20 controller and Restored 3.3v

    I restored Fuse that was blown after IC20.

    I had to replace one Ram bank IC30 It was shorted. (3 ohms)

    Im waiting for NJM78L05UA to replace IC9 to restore +5VA

    IC19 I can't find replacement. 3.3v_Smart Media is missing.

    When I power up the device, LCD lights up, but nothing is showing on the screen.

    I'm looking for some help to learn how to check if CPU is running and Display core.
    Im thinking if I can't restore CPU and display, then there is no point trying to restore other rails.

    I have attached schematics. If anyone has some tips I will be eternally grateful.

    I did some digging,

    VA = Voltage Analog
    VD = Voltage Digitail

    That helps when you look into schematics.

      First thing I would do is work to get all the power rails sorted, as that will at least reveal whether you do in fact have any problem with the LCD, and in order to do that you will need the 78L05

      Have you checked that IC4 is getting power?
      +5v on pin 31 (VDD), Gnd on pin 21 (VSS)
      If that's missing then I'd check the voltage on IC14, although tbh, if the LCD is lighting up then IC14 is probably ok, if I'm reading it correctly.

        Thanks for suggestions.
        I do have 5vd yes.
        At the moment this project is on hold.
        I need to Replace IC9 to restore 5vA
        And more importantly I need to Replace IC19 To restore 3.3V_SM and SM_Power
        Ordered both chips. will take some time to get them.

          I am currently working on a device that is not functioning properly. Power has been restored to all necessary rails, including the CPU, Display, 3.3V, 5V, and analog voltages (+ and -) as per the datasheet. However, the device is not responding and the display only has backlight.

          I have a suspicion that the uPD77213 IC may be the root of the issue, but I am not experienced enough to perform any meaningful tests on the component. Additionally, I am unable to locate a replacement IC. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or advice on how to proceed with troubleshooting this problem.

          I also have a Smart Media card with the bios, however, without the display and CPU working properly, it is not relevant. My intuition suggests that the focus should be on the display and CPU.

          If anyone has access to the schematic(can be downloaded above) of the device and could check the connections between the display, the CPU and the uPD77213 and let me know if there's anything unusual or worth mentioning it would be a great help. I will also gladly provide more information about the device.

            replaced cpu, and device powered up. so was worth it in the end.

              Can you please tell me where did you found the CPU?
              Thanks!
