PSR2K part arrives after 4 months - 06/10/03 10:35 PM
Many months ago, I broke the glass cover of the LCD display on my keyboard. It was my fault. This crack didn't affect the functioning of the keyboard, but I knew that it would affect the resale value. I ordered the part in February of 2003. The part finally arrived. That's four months.
I might have had to wait even more, but I was able to get in touch with the head of parts of Yamaha USA.
I was sent a survey to evaluate my experience with my last Yamaha-authorized repair. I wasn't very happy with that experience, because it took several months for me to get a replacement speaker for my PSR2000. Then, the Yamaha repair center didn't tighten the speaker enough so it was rattling. Instead of traveling 45 minutes each way to the repair center and being without my keyboard for who knows how long. I paid $20 to my teenage tech friend, and he fixed the problem in a jiff. Of course, I didn't mention this to the Yamaha parts person listed on the survey.
Besides putting down that I was dissatisfied with that repair experience, I wrote down that I had been waiting for this piece of plexiglass for 4 months and was 1). being told that it was on backorder and 2) being told that I would have to purchase a whole assembly of stuff just to get that one rotten piece.
The fellow at Yamaha was very nice, and sent me the part I needed right to my door at no charge.
Just in time for me to sell the keyboard so I can buy the PSR2100.
