Hi,

I'm not sure about the issue. Perhaps a dead screen could be the
problem. I just thought I'd mention that the S is probably a better
option than the W these days, and has the same keybed, I believe.

I use the rack btw, which is OK, and suits my space well enough. I have
to use MIDI controls rather than on-board knobs, though.

Unless it was a specially good deal, and you really need those features
unique to the W, I would consider picking up an S elsewhere.

Anyway, how do you like the synth?

It sounds to me like your display is going bad. LCD displays usually make noise when they fail.

In particular it seems that one of the display components is overheating or being overloaded by a faulty component. Power cycling the unit will clear it up but it will most likely get worse with time.
I have a rack mount unit but would much rather have a keyboard model. Not just for the keys but also for the knobs which the rack doesn't have.

The display shouldn't be too expensive to replace. I have purchased displays for a few synths from a company called Telesis. Contact them and see if they can order you a replacement.

Good luck :)

Electrohead.

Hi Tom,

Fwiw I never encountered that kind of behaviour in 7+ years.

Tom,

Check the archives on the screen replacement, theres a ton of info from
4-5 years back.

more than likely the display is going out - not sure about replacement
options...use your judgement.

Have you asked a Kawai [piano] dealer if they can order the parts for you?
