<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone offer suggestions to cure a bizarre
fault on a PS-3300?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The instrument plays fine, and sounds
wonderful..... for about ten minutes. Then, if a three or four note
chord is played, it goes berserk. Lots of notes trigger at random.
A great abstract sound....... but...!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Switching the machine off then on after 10 - 30
secs brings the power light on, but no sound and NO LEDs
flashing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Switching it off and on again after that usually
gets it working properly again....... but only for 5-10 minutes before the
next crash.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 60-way keyboard lead contacts have
been cleaned; no improvement.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully
received.</FONT></DIV>
