I have a problem now. I'm not very happy. I just got the Roland RS, and I was 
playing it and noticed that the volume pot was scratchy, so, i took the top 
cover off and sprayed it with some contact cleaner. I turned the volume pot 
back and forth about 20 times and I put the top back on and put all of the 
screws in and then I turned it on. 

My RS has the push buttons, not the rocker switches, and when I tried to turn 
the organ sounds on, the buttons don't work. So.. I don't know what could 
have caused it. Could maybe opening it up cause a wire to come loose? Did I 
fry it with static electricity? Did the cleaner damage it? I only used it on 
the volume pot. 

I'm pretty worried because I just spent a lot of money on this keyboard and 
now it's useless. 

I'm assuming that someone out there has had a similar experience with the 
switches not working on a juno or an 808, since they are similar. When you 
power it up, it automatically puts the 4' strings and ensemeble mode on, it 
plays like that, but, I can't switch the sounds now..

if anybody knows, anything, again, i would really appreciate it.

jason.
