Hi everybody...

here a short update concerning OS Update of PSR2000. On Jan., the 17th I sent my PSR2000 with the help of my local musicdealer to Yamaha Rellinghausen, Germany, for a OS update free of charge. Seems to be no problem here in Germany.

But keep in mind, to solder Chips e.g with a VQFP-Package (Very thin quad flat pack, many pins, pin-to-pin distance < 0.2mm) this is really difficult, even if you are an expert with the right equipment (as I am). I would guess at least 50% failure rate!!
Ok... and here are the news... my local dealer told me on Monday that my mainboard in the PSR2000 is completely broken, no replacement or repair possible... (this was the official statement of Yamaha ;-) )... and ... fasten your seat belts... I will get today an absolute new PSR2000... free of charge!!

What a shit... no download in Flash-Memory and no easy replacement of the ROM-Chip, cause it seems that there are no sockets, they are soldered directly on the mainboard. Saving for Yamaha about 5 Cent...

PS.: I know, I'm a lucky man, but let me first test the OS-Version ;-) and let me see if this board is OK...
