It took over two months to repair my PSR2000 - 03/20/03 02:35 PM
On January 10th I brought in one of my PSR2000s because of distortion in the speakers. I paid $25 for the repair center to give it rush priority.
They looked at it on January 14th and determined that a speaker was blown. They called Yamaha to order the speaker. Yamaha told the repair center that the part was on back order and could take 4-6 weeks. Since I didn't want to be without a practice keyboard that long, I picked it up. It didn't distort at low volumes, so I was fine. I just kept my fingers crossed that my other PSR2000 didn't bite the dust. Thankfully, it didn't.
The replacement speaker didn't come in until March 17th. My keyboard was ready on March 18th. That's over two months.
You really can't make a living at this depending on one keyboard. I think it's ideal to have at least three keyboards because when these beasts have to be repaired, it can be a long time. And heaven forbid two keyboards need repair at the same time and you only have two keyboards.
Just a heads up that Yamaha isn't that speedy with parts. My last repair took them over three weeks too if I recall well.
