Hi,
I had my G2 in my closet, in it’s carrying case for about a year, leaned on its side. I got it out tonight to play with it, and there was this brown goo oozing out from inside, onto the keys. I cleaned it off and then opened the lid to see what was going on. It looks like it’s come from the circuit board, right at the bottom of the parameter page select buttons. I can’t see into the board from an angle. Anyone know what this is? Is my G2 dead? Is it safe to turn on? (I’m afraid to power it up right now)
Thank you for your help

Re: Help! Brown goo oozed out of my modular g2 keyboard!
The only component that I can think of that might do that is a capacitor, but it would be incredibly unusual. Under the circumstances I would not power on the G2 until you have the system checked out properly. It definitely needs to be opened and diagnosed before powering it on.

OK, thank you. Would an electronics repair shop be ok, or do I need to find an authorized repair service for Nord?

Any competent repair technician should be able to at least determine the actual source of the brown goo. If its something relatively generic they should also be able to affect a repair. If its something more Nord specific than it might need to go to an authorized repair location.
