    Anyone know of a decent synth repair person who might take a look at my Novation Nova?
    Haven't used for a while and it decided not to power up today.
    In your position, my first move would to confirm that the PSU is still transforming the mains electricity. 

    Check any fuses. Sniff for any faint whiff of electrical burning.
    Be seeing you.

    Kettle leads? The Nova PSU uses a weird connection - more like a midi socket.

    Mine died a couple of years ago. Took a chance on the PSU and ordered the expensive replacement via Novations tech support. Everything's fine now. 

    I think the PSU was a weak link with these and I've read that the replacement was a better unit. Can't confirm this though.

    Decent VA synth and probably worth saving for the price of the psu, even if it's a bit steep. That said, we're in the age of killer real analogue synths from Behringer for not a huge amount more. You pays yer money and takes her chance...
