There is a problem with the screen. Several users have reported, as well as me, that the lock-down mechanism has failed. It doesn't affect the usability, but is something that should be addressed when it happens. I have an appointment to take mine to Dallas for them to fix it. I think I've read of 3 or 4 others that have the problem, so it's probably quite isolated.
Hi Don, Do you think it's because you're gigging with it? Ie you have to fold the screen when you pack it up or something? Haven't seen one , don't know how it works, but gather it is different to my pa3 x screen. Do you think one would have the same problem for home use ?

Hi Rikki, No it doesn't have anything to do with moving it. One of the guys having the problem has never moved his. I'm very careful with mine. It seems that only a very few of them are having the problem. I think I've heard of three or four out of the thousands sold. I'm just one of the lucky ones! I haven't taken the time to get my into the shop yet, but will pretty soon. I certainly wouldn't let it deter me from buying one. Go for it!

what has to be done to fix this problem? if it is a problem?.. design flaw, cheap locking mechanism, or what?....as long as it stays up and you can adjust angle should be a problem while playing right?... up or down thats it..nothing is perfect

No, it is totally adjustable to any degree. The only problem is that it won't totally lock down. It does not affect the functionality. I'm sure it is an easy fix, probably an adjustment, but we'll see. I thought about opening it myself, but not sure if it might void the warranty, so I'll wait.

so your saying it doesn't LOCK DOWN?....that's no biggie ....as long as it stays up and can be adjusted to different angles,....when it's down or in the case what's the difference if it locks or not?
