Hi Bob !
mine plays perfectly ... and i don't know where ondrash77 lives !
You're right , the first thing to do is to check if all the ribbon
cables between the keyboard and other(s) PCBs are well fitted in their
sockets on both sides .
For ondrash77 , have a look at
http://www.deepsonic.ch/deep/htm/an1x.php (sorry it's in german ...) : there are wiews of the inner parts of an
AN1X , just to get an idea of what is inside the case . Be careful ,
don't remove anyting without marking the connectors , and be very
careful with rhe screws . A lot of them are fitted into plastic , and
don't let a loose screw inside ! The wide PCBs are fragile , don't bow
them too much , you can break copper tracks or a solder of a SMD I.C.
If connector contacts , pins .. are dirty or oxydized you can use
cleaning fluids for electronics such as KF cleaner (very useful for
"scratching" pots too) , wipe out the excess cleaner before mounting .
You can also clean all "suspect" traces on the keyboard PCB (beer, soda
..) which can sometimes be found there! But one more time : act slowly
and carefully , and if you know an electronics hobbyist he could be
helpful .
And don't worry , the AN1X seems to be a reliable machine , mine is a 97
model , has known different owners and is still perfectly playable !

>I don't actually have an AN1x yet (although I might have been bidding on this one that has a problem) but most keyboard mechanisms in synths are connected to the scanning circuit or main board via a removable cable/connector. If you have any DIY desires, you can open the unit and see if the cable has become unseated or broken during shipping to ?France?
