Sorry to hear changing the battery did not help, that's surprising (at least to me it is.)
Have you popped the case and checked the ribbon controller connection?
It will be interesting to see if Yamaha can sort you out with a new EPROM. Per user reports to this list, it's been reported v1.04 was discontinued some time ago - not surprising for a synth this old now. Some european users were reporting success dealing with Yamaha, but that was some time ago.
