∗aouch! battery acid∗
Well, since everything seems OK except midi I guess you need to focus on
that area. But to be honest and if you're not into soldering as a hobby I'd
check for a new cheetah on Ebay and use the other for reserve etc. It's not
really the most expensive piece of gear...
Midi signals can be hard to trace since they're digital. It's not as obvious
as an all-analogue system. But that's my two swedish ören, I'm no tech wiz
so others might feel different.
