Dear forum,

Yesterday, i plugged in my Nord Electro 2 at a gig and the first 10 minutes is was fine. But then my Nord start to flip, light blinking, weird light combinations and a letter L on the display. Then i quickly turned it off. I tried other power outlet, but then its gone flipping again. Sometimes it even won't go on, and the other times weird blinking. I had something before, long long time ago, but after a couple of on/off it suddenly worked (but with strange sounds).

the thing is, the two times it did this, the powersuplly for the gigs was arranged through this kind of things:

I really think the power, not stable, fluctuations maybe or something like that, may be the problem. Every other instruments (a lot) DID work however.

When i cam home, i plugged in at home and it did work. Big relief. I went to sleep en today same problem at home. Conclusion, something is terribly wrong here.

What can i do? Could it be a fuse problem? (noticed the fuse thing at the back? Anyone has had this before? I could really use some reactions (nearly crying :( ).

Thanks! greetings from Holland

UPDATE: It now only displays E.7 and then rd on starting up. The piano is blocked at rd.

Hello brainsponsch,
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, by your description of the symptoms, the power supply of your ns2 was damaged by an abnormal voltage event. The fuse probably isn't the problem, it is a device that when it's defective, the ns2 won't power up at all. There aren't any user serviceable parts other than the fuse.
Best advice that I can give is to seek professional repairs. Start by contacting nord at this link:
