Good Morning! Good Afternoon! Good Evening! Aloha! Howdy, I lent my trusty CZ101 to a friend and upon it's return I have been unable to power it up. I've been using a generic radio shack power trans former on the thing and have suspected that the jack connections were not quite compatable (sometimes I would move the synth and the machine would flick off). Now, unfortunately, no amount of wiggling the fixture will get the 101 to power up. I can, though, get a momentary flicker out of the LED above the on/off button. I suspect either a broken internal jack or something wrong with something else inside. The external transformer is difinitely working. Anyone else have similar problems? I would appreciate any input before I take the thing apart. Thanks, Michael Hicks

Just once and a while it would turn off on me. I solved the problem, by shelling out the money for the casio adaptor, which as I recall was way overpriced, but it worked, and I haven't experienced these symptoms since.
