I would definitely look into the LCD before anything else.
An easy way is to open it up and disconnect the backlight cable inside. Or even to disconnect the LCD.
Turn it on to see if the whining is still there. If it\u2019s not \u2026 well \u2026 you know what to replace J

Emne: Re: SV: [akaiS1000S1100Samplers] new akai sampler making whining noise
from unit
That just might be it, as the audio outputs are
just fine. The other
thing is that my volume pot is making lots of noise when I turn it.
Its definitely needs work. But the good news is that it I got it for
140 dollars with 18 megs of ram. If anything I can at least take the
ram from the unit if it eventually dies.
It was advertised has having a new backlight installed, but it doesn't
look like it as the display is a bit dim.
