Hi Linda,
The music store where I purchased my 2000 didn't know if he wanted to stock them this year or not. He only purchased one PSR-1000 & one PSR-2000! So I have the only 2000 he got in. Then I told him they were selling like hotcakes! Everybody is buying them! So then he tries to order more, about 4wks later I ask if he had got any in, he said he hadn't!
The other day I went to him,I ask him about
the OS upgrade chips! He knew nothing about it. I bet 90% of their dealers know nothing about it. He said he thought he would stop his order until they had them upgraded so he wouldn't have to send them back in!
He told me he could replace the chips, but there is no way he can replace those chips! They are surface mounted chips and very hard to replace! They are done by machine in the factory. When removing you have to make sure you remove all the access solder. Then you will need a very tiny DC solder iron. Even if your very good at soldering ,this won't be easy. There is so much danger of your solder bridgeing.
Also you stand a chance of over heating the chip or getting a magnetic charge on the chip. One of the reasons for useing a DC soldering iron.
I don't know where I'll have to send mine to have the OS Chips replaced!
Hope we find out soon,
Nobby
