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

I put some poor quality batteries in it on the weekend and returned to it today after zero usage to find that they had spewed frothy acid all over the battery compartment. I Removed them, wiped it down then re-inserted some new batteries. The thing wouldn't switch on so I then tried the mains power which also yielded no joy. Any ideas? Has acid got into the thing itself? Is it just a blown fuse? Cheers guys.

Make a thick past of baking soda and water. rub it on the corroded parts. after a very short time it should clean up the contacts.. make sure to dry all the parts when you're done.

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.

All rechargeable batteries have a lifespan and they may be nearing their end. It may also be that t your charger isn't putting out what it used to. Best to take it in for repair so they can determine the cause of the problem.

Why does my roland mobile cube hum when I plug into it?

If it hums when running on battery power, either your cable from your instrument needs repair, or it's the wrong type (unshielded or TRS) or your instrument has a problem, or you're in an area that has too much RF or electromagnetic interference.

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.

My roland cube street starts making this really weird loud noise

Hi, Quick Check. Very often the input socket which is soldered directly to the circuit board, will have a broken solder joint. This is common on a very large amount of equipment. Try waggling the plug about and seeing if the noise comes and goes.
Easy fix, re-solder joint. Permanent fix, connect socket to board with flying leads, or fix socket to board with hot glue or epoxy resin.
All the best, Chris the Fader.

The unit is in excellent shape, not used much and has been kept in the oringinal box. I got it out today and the power won't come on? I put brand new batteries in it and still no power. It has been...

Check for corrosion on battery contacts. If this unit can use an AC adapter, often the switch contact in the power plug that connects the batteries when adapter is removed gets bent and fails to connect the batteries.
