Yeah, sounds bad.  It's probably either the flash chip or memory chip,
or the connections to them.  I've heard of pins lifting off the pads
after time.  Maybe someone with QFP soldering chops could help you...

PS. I *wouldn't* run flash prep.  There are two "levels" of operating
system in the XL-7.  One is what's called a boot loader, the other is
the OS proper.  Flash prep updates the boot loader.  That thing is
responsible for finding an OS to run, either on flash, in memory, or
loading it via MIDI.  If you mess up the boot loader, you're hosed for
good (without reflashing from a ROM image).  If you mess up the OS,
there's always reloading.
