Hi everyone,
I have a brand-new Yamaha MODX7+ that won’t power on at all — no screen, no LEDs, and no response from the power button.
I purchased the unit from Japan (PA-150B adapter included). It arrived in pristine condition, unused, in original packaging with all protective foam.
Here’s what I’ve done:
Measured the adapter output with a multimeter: stable 12.15V
Tried different outlets and high-quality plug adapters (I’m in Europe, 220V)
Removed all external connections: no audio cables, no sustain pedal, no USB
Held the power button for 5 seconds — no reaction
The DC jack is firm, with no wobble
I gently twisted the DC plug during power attempts — no effect
At this point, I suspect either:
- A blown internal fuse
- A failed power regulation circuit on the mainboard or power board
- A disconnection somewhere in the internal chain
Before I open the case, I’d appreciate any advice:
Where exactly is the fuse located?
Is it a T1.25A 250V slow-blow (5x20mm)?
Has anyone here successfully replaced it?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks a lot in advance! 🙏
I don’t want to ship it back to Japan.

Hi dear SzBálint,
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for sending me the MODX7+ manual and pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks to you, I finally realized my mistake — and honestly, I feel pretty embarrassed that I didn’t notice the Standby/On switch on the back panel…
I spent so much time checking the adapter, measuring voltage with a multimeter, thinking the fuse was blown, digging through schematics, looking for repair shops — and all along, the issue was just one switch I didn’t flip.
The manual was right there from the start, but I didn’t read it carefully enough. Lesson learned the hard way.
Once again, thank you so much for your help, your patience, and for saving me a ton of time, stress, and possibly even repair costs.
With sincere appreciation,
Octic
