Repair Akai S1100 Reparatur Service
This Akai S1100 sampler came in for repair because it no longer worked. That was because the 5V supply from the power supply no longer worked. So first I removed the power supply and examined it more closely. The usual problem: The electrolytic capacitors were once again the culprit. The ESR of some electrolytic capacitors was far outside the specifications.

At first I thought I could equip the power supply with new electrolytic capacitors. I've done that before. I think it's nicer when the original condition is largely preserved. But I quickly discovered corrosion on many components. Probably caused by leaking electrolytes. So in this case I installed a new power supply and the sampler rebooted.
