In my specific case, yes on both counts. Because the Tyros USB problem is not just an isolated issue with my Tyros only, but happening on a number of other earlier produced Tyros' as well, and because I was experiencing the problem back when my keyboard was still under warranty, Steve said Yamaha would cover the repair under warranty.

Tom, are you too, not able to reliably connect your Tyros (via USB) to your PC via BOTH 'File Utility' AND 'USB-Storage HDD' modes? Realizing that your Tyros is a more recently produced model, I expected that yours wasns't suffering from this problem.

It's important to note that the hardware fix ONLY corrects the problem when connecting in 'USB-Storage' mode, but not when in 'File Utility' mode.
