With digital gear the troubles are almost always a sudden and total failure like "no output" or "hopelessly out of tune". The old electro-mechanical and analog instruments tend to fail more gracefully.

I have seen / heard a few live keyboard disasters recently. The Spoons in Toronto last year. The synth arpeggiator stuff was way out of tune, and off tempo for every song. The rest of the band looked like they wanted to kill the synth geek.
