HMMM...OK look, I don't even own one anymore, so I can't remember which
of the two (or more) user's groups on yahoo has the best info, but:

1. Search for the other group on Yahoo, one of them has all the files,
versions of OS, manual and advice you will ever need to deal with this.
God forbid you might actually have to read the manual. After you reset
the thing, and all the menus appear to work, then make sure you are
actually tracking your keyboard for your MIDI input channel and that
your output stage is turned on and up.

IF it is running ANY OS at all, it is probably OK and your problem is
minor. Like I said, if it is an old blue one, the volume pot tends to go
out, you can check for signal at its input stage.....just replace the
potentiometer. Other than that they tend to be bulletproof.
