It works with eurorack power so must be something in the DC power.

Yep, that is right. If it doesn't work with the 9V adapter but with Eurorack power, then one of the internal DC switching ICs went bust. A few years back we actually made a nifty little PDF about this very repair, I've uploaded it for you here.


When someone plugs in a wrong power supply and the Field Kit FX stops working, in 90% of the cases, it's the +12V chip that gets fried. You could take a magnifying glass and have a really close look at it. If it looks damaged, like e.g. having a small bubble or crater in its housing then it's definitely that one.

Hope that helps! Let us know please!
