Worked perfectly yesterday, turned it on this morning, power LED went on then immediately faded off (like turning something on when it's not plugged in, and the LED goes on for a short while)... tried swapping out the batteries with fresh ones, absolutely nothing happened when I turned it on. Left it without any batteries in for a while and tried using the power adapter, still nothing... cracked it open and saw that the main(?) chip looked like
this. The shiny bits are smooth to the touch as opposed to the textured feel of how chips are supposed to feel. Also the bits where the wires are soldered look a bit...
burnt. Also (this isn't visible in the picture) there seems to be a shiny patch on the circuit board around the chip. I can't turn the board around because of the soldered wires but I can imagine the chips on the other side aren't much better. So I imagine this poor keyboard is toast. What a week... first my desktop PC fries and in the space of two days so does my beloved SK-1. Any idea on how this may have happened / how it can be prevented?
