Hey all,
I recently acquired a busted Ibanez AD230.
Before I bite the bullet and send it off for repair I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what may be wrong.

It seems to have a really bad short.. I opened it up to check for any weirdness in the wiring/components but it looks surprisingly immaculate and all terminals are solid. I reseated the jumpers etc. Tried contact cleaner in the switches.

When turned on, the mode selection LEDS freakout and there's audible popping - you can hear it in the video. It's weird...!!!

Any ideas?

The first thing I always do is measure the voltages on those 8 pin IC's, and see if you have +15v/-15v or something like that.
It can vary between 12v and 18v depending on design, but both polarities should be the same voltage.

If they are the usual dual op-amps the power supply pins are 8 for +V and 4 for -V.
