Hey guys, I have a Boss DR-550 drum machine given to me that is not producing sound.

It turns on fine, I can see the digital display. I can even get a faint sound out of it if i turn my speakers real loud, but it's 90% noise.

Anyone has any contact of someone who can repair this at a decent price? icon_question.gif icon_rolleyes.gif

IT could be dirty contact inside your output. Buy CONTACT SPRAY from Electrical Shop. Spray a few times inside. Let it dry. then try. Dont go crazy with your spraying.

Hey, thanks for the reply. But I'm a bit doubtful, because both RCA output and headphone output are having the same issue. Could be something deeper than that.
