Nord Lead 3 acting very strange

[melech]

Hello,

My Nord Lead 3 has started to make very random noises. It's got a total life of it's own.

There's no midi plugged in and I have plugged my headphones into it. It is not happy at all.

Is there anything I could try before I send it off to get repaired?

Thank you

Hello and welcome to NUF,

that can be due to many things, you could try to open your NL3 and check that at least there is no loose flat cable between the boards and from the Power Supply Unit (unplug and reseat each of them on both sides, applying some contacts cleaner on the pins just in case they are oxydated); if still not working properly, it could be a different hardware (PSU or mainboard) problem that needs to be diagnosed by a qualified technician.

Thank you. I tried that (it was very dusty in there) but it is still not working correctly. I'll get it sent off for repair.
