Novation Bass Station Keyboard - no sound output

Hi - i bought this keyboard about 5 or 6 years ago 2nd hand - at the time i as just messing with it and had headphones plugged in
I noticed then that it wasnt turning on so i left it, turned out the power supply had died
I just noticed it lying on the shelf a few weeks ago so decided to get a new power supply - there is power now but no sound???

I followed the guide on net for set the RX/TX on the keyboard but its not that
Also i noticed absolutely nothing on my UFX mixer window, not even a little bit of noise coming through

Is it possible i blew something on the outout side by having the headphones plugged in? They were Technics DJ headphones

I would like to get this fixed and see how it sounds - thanks anyone who can help!

The bassstation dosent have a headphone out.
what about a factory reset? This has solved alot of problems for me with other gear.

Double check that the new power supply is correct voltage and working properly. It should be 9v DC...

Yeah it doesnt have a headphone output correct, but i was plugging headphones into it? probably overloaded the output or something - dont think it has a factory reset option that i can see??

@msl - yes its the correct power adapter, 9v 600ma output, the lfo leds are flashing and other leds are on so fairly confident its getting power now....

So the synth powers up, LED and lights etc, but no sound? Well if anything blew due to improper voltage it would not power up at all. Maybe a CPU issue or problem with main board.
Check EG settings and make sure the filter(s) are not closed all the way.
Maybe take it to an electronics repair shop and have them check the board. It would be fairly simple for them to diagnose.
They are great synths. Hopefully it can be reanimated.
Good Luck
