Mario, GREAT to hear that you were able to figure out the problem and avoid having to send the kb in for repair for 'who knows' how long. Donny's suggestion of purchasing the Technical/Schematic Manual as well as keeping spare parts on hand is very WISE!

I definitely hear you loud and clear, and realize just how lucky I've been not experiencing problems with my 2000 (yet). I'll just have to keep Donny Pesce a safe distance away from 'MY' board . . .just kidding of course . Luckily I've got a buddy who also owns a 2000 and has agreed to lend me his if ever mine develops trouble, but so far, mine's holding up fine, especially considering how much gig transporting & playing I do. I never bang on the keys, but I definitely play with intensity so would think something would have gone wrong by now, if it was going to happen. I'm just keepin my fingers crossed until I purchase my 'next' model arranger board: Tyros, XD9,KN7000, or possibly even another PSR2000 Mario, please keep us posted on your kb repair progress. We're all pulling for you. - Scott
