Roland F140R piano won't start up

[Pixel]

Did you directly contact Roland to ask if they could provide or sell the service manual?

Try contacting them through a few social media channels...companies pay way too much attention to social media and you might get lucky.

The service manual was uploaded to Elektrotanya today.

Nice!

That would be just awesome...
But I just cannot find it whatever the key words used for the search and the link does not work... I don't think it is on Elektrotanya unless you can point it to me?

They must have got a cease and desist letter from Roland, Several years ago all the Roland files disappeared. Fortunately I snagged it but unfortunately it's too large to post here - 19M

Maybe these are enough?

Thank you VERY much Dmeek.
There's a lot to check for me tomorrow, so I can't say if it will be enough yet.
Anyway, again, a big thank you!

Ok, the piano is repaired!
I identified a faulty fuse/resistor (R131) stopping the 3.3V from reaching the rest of the circuit. This resistor is a small SMD in the middle of a very densely populated board and I could not have found it without the schematic.
FIY, the F140R seems to be very sensitive to input power as the user of this piano employed a replacement psu putting out 12.4V instead of the 12V of the original PSB-7U.


I want to thank Nosaj and Dmeek again for their decisive help!
