K5synth

I don't know the insides of this beast yet, but I'd check  for the 
usual dry joints, any signs of even the minutest circuit board 
cracking/stress around switches or anything heavy like big capacitors 
on the board. Check the regs one at a time, most shut down if there's 
a real problem, but they can just fail and not do anything. If 
anything's getting hot that shouldn't power down and get a circuit 
schematic.

Look around the main switch on the kb too, it may just have become 
dry jointed because of all that pushing on and off over the years...

hope you fix it
