Hello Jesse !
i think they are right . If you cannot repair it by yourself, try to
have it serviced .... This synth is becoming more expensive each year on
Ebay . Not in France but in such case the shipping costs could be more
expensive than your repair, not to mention possible issues with the
customs. From my point of view this is only a minor failure. Did you try
to get some refund from the seller ? I think you could if he or she has
not mentioned "sold as it for parts" or "needs servicing"....
