Questions and answers
When I click on the power button on the panel of the DTX500 there is a slight burst of light/power but there are no other indicators on the display screen. I did try to reset but nothing happens when I press down both arrow keys and then the power button. Please let me know if there are any other possible solutions.
The Yamaha DTX500 manual provides troubleshooting steps for issues related to power and display. Here are possible steps to check:
1. Ensure the power cable and adapter are properly connected.
2. Verify that the power adapter matches the required specifications.
3. Check for any visible damage on the power cable or adapter.
4. Try using a different power outlet.
5. If the issue persists, contact a Yamaha Service Center or the dealer for further assistance.
If the device shows a slight burst of light but no display indicators, it may indicate a power or internal component issue requiring professional inspection.
