Hi guys!
After 6 years of operating without major problems my SD1 screen went black yesterday - fortunately at home and not at the gig!
At first I noticed strange dots and signs on the screen, soon after that it became black with some white rectangles. After few such events it is now completely dead - the only thing that happens on turning on is black screen and check of floppy drive.
I will be very glad to get any suggestions from any of you of what could be wrong before I take it for repair.
Thanks!
Luka

This is a known "problem" as far as I remember.
Several posts about the issue here at Ketron forum.
Perform a search for screen and or display and
you'll probably fins something similiar as the links above.

Good luck!

Thank you for the tip, GJ.

My SD1 is up and running again thanks to information in this forum.
I repaired it myself. It was the loose display contacts as GJ suggested.
I feel confident about my keyboard again.
Thanks,
Luka
