Re: [chromapolaris] Chroma Polaris Lights up, but makes no sound.

The first thing to do is to open it and check those membrane connections. Watch the videos online about it first so you know what you're looking for. I believe they were made by Bob Weigel. Though Bob shows how to repair them, I think it's a good idea to by the new replacement panels sold by Paul here.

Pressing the buttons does nothing and the keys and sliders don't do anything either.  I tried the cold and warm reset, but nothing happened.  I have not done the full reset, although since the buttons do not appear to work I don't know if that would work.  I wanted to check here to see what the next step is.  I did a few searches, but could not find a similar problem.  I have not opened it up yet because I heard that can possibly damage the membrane connections further.  The only sound is a constant, faint hum/noise sound.  Any suggestions on where to start would be appreciated.
