It looks more likely like a ribbon controller problem : play, hit it
gently with your fingertip and listen...maybe you'll have to open your
synth , clean and plug firmly the ribbon controller connector to fix it.
The connectors and IC sockets are often the hidden "Achille's heel" of
electronic devices.
For the supply unit : these wallwarts are often crap pieces of
electronics, but mine works perfectly (at the moment, maybe
tomorrow.??). The Yamaha unit is a bit expensive for what it is, but you
can try any similar supply rated at 12V - 700 mA, "+" at the center of
the connector. Don't try higher voltages, but a 1 amp supply will work
even better.
Cheers.
