anyone know what may be happening, why? and how to fix?

my display many times, goes darker, lighter, all by itself, seems problem with contrast,

but when i apply pressure to lower right of screen, the problem goes away, then comes back again in a few minutes.

and so on, this makes it hard to play live as half teh time it's hard to see screen,

any ideas?

From your description it sounds like a bad internal connection somewhere, could be a cold solder joint also.

My xd3 did that and a friend had one like that. He sent his back to ketron and they fixed it. Mine I just took the wheel for contras and worked it back and forth for several time and it is doing fine now. I think the contacts get moisture in it and working it back and fourth cleared it up. I could thump the top of xd3 and it would stop for a while.

ive had my xd3 for a while
and i bought it off ebay,
so this has got to be a few years old, maybe over 5 years...

you think Ketron would take this in and fix it? would it not be out of warranty?
