Hi,
When you got it back with the clone it was working ?
If you open it up can you see the voices being triggered by each key press - an led lights up on the 366 voice board...
Try reseating the connectors - I've had problems due to that.
Just in case you can't get it sorted in time, find someone you can hire a P6 from...
Cheers,
Tony

The dudes at the store took it back and completely replaced the old KLM-367 board with the leakage on it with a completely new clone KLM-367 board. I received it back in January with the new KLM board so I don't think this new issue is due to battery corrosion.

I do have some intermediate synth repair knowledge and I can definitely make my way around these things, I just have never really learned how to start going about troubleshooting. Any suggestions would be supersupersuper appreciated! We are leaving in a few days, and we have practice everyday until then!!!
