Hey guys, so I know that this thread is rather ancient now, but I just surfed here because I had a similar problem with mine, I managed to fix the problem of the power not turning on with either the power or battery, after it working and then just randomly not turning on.
Here's what I did:
I opened the speaker grill, and took out the right speaker, everything looked fine inside on the circuit board, thinking it might be a fuse - I started looking for it- to no avail.
I was just about to give up when I accidentally bumped the wires to the power switch, and the light came on! Huzzah!!
I played with the wires a bit because the light kept flickering and would turn on once then not again.
I pulled the wires off the switch and took the switch out of the box, then used my pocket knife to scratch away some discoloration from the terminals on the switch, then re-attached the wires, but only put them on halfway, and the problem was solved!
This was only a quick fix, and I went out the next day to Altronics (I'm in Australia) to buy a replacement power switch.
I re-attached the power wires to the new switch, slid them on the whole way and I haven't had a problem with it since!
I hope this helps someone before they take it to a technician who will probably do exactly what I did and charge you $300
Happy Jamming legends! Rock on!

Roland street cube won't power on due to battery acid leak

Most likely the acid ate the internal power supply, but if you can dis-assemble it and clean any trace of gunk with a toothbrush and electronic cleaner, including the fuse and it's contacts, maybe you'll get lucky.

My Roland Street cube amplifier has a bad speaker- where can I find a replacement speaker?

Rubber cement is an excellent for minor speaker cone damage but if you feel that a replacement is required, try MCM Electronics online. They carry lots-o-speaker replacements. Be sure to match wattage and impedance (ohms) of the speaker though as these are important spec's.

Roland cube street water damage repair

What part of it got wet will determine the course of action.

If the whole unit were submerged, the unit may prove more time consuming to try to fix than to locate a used one. However, I have salvaged imersed laptops before. the procedure is not much different- make sure the unit is as dry as you can possibly make by blowing a fan on it for an extended period of time.- Days.

Once dried, use some contact cleaner on the jack contacts and interupts, any manual control and any switch.

You can then apply power. If nothing lights up, check and replace fuses as needed. Also check the power supply board for failed caps or rectifiers.

Once the power supply is known to be functional, systematically check the LCD display and the aspects of the amp that it controls. This board will be the most vulnerable and most likely to be the source of most issues you will encountr.

If the display survived intact, and amp does nto work, apply a signal to the inputs and trace the signal through the amp with a set of headphones set up with test prods. The problem will be where the signal stops.
