Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hi all,
I powered my xl7 on, 2 days ago, I was selecting some pattern, and 
suddenly the cursor disappeared in the lcd display !?.......turned it 
off, then on, but the machine remained stuck (all leds lit and LCD 
empty )....No need to say I tried everything (opened it up, pushed 
all the inner components, swapped ROMs, took away some ROMs, 
tightened the screws, pushed on both cursors at power on, tried to 
reach diagnotic mode, etc, etc..........) nothing, absolutely nothing 
worked !!! To add to my despair, my warranty time has expired (so 
it's all on my bucks !)  and last but not least : EMU is no longer 
distributed in France !!!! Lol, I'm rite down disgusted, sooooooo 
disapointed, as I always treated this synth with so much care, 
protecting it from everything (dust, electricity peaks....) spent so 
much time on it...but now I know it wasn't worth it, I can state for 
sure that those babies are not designed to last very long !! seems 
built like a tank, but inside it's total crap, always thought 
american-made stuff was qualitative and reliable ...I was wrong !!My 
old Roland TR-626 I bought when I was 15, still works perfectly and 
so does all my other 80's japanese gear!! My 1 year and 4 months old 
xl7 is Dead ! Dead ! Dead !!
End of story : in the repair shop the guy told me he was used to deal 
with the xl7 and its deficient power supply, but the problem on mine 
was kinda different.....read in his eyes that he couldn't be able to 
fix it....so what am I to do now ? any idea ? EMU ? anyone ? 

xROM.........one foot out
