Hi Everyone
I'm getting so disgusted with Yamaha, I wish I could sue them. My S900, about a year and a half old, worked well till today. All of a udden a 1/4 inch thick vertical coloured band appeared on the left side of the display, and it just will not go away. I have tried to initialize it, etc etc, but its still ver disturbingly and visibly there.
On consulting the Yamaha service technician I learnt that this is a common complaint and in many cases, more than 50% of the display has been blocked out . The cost of a display board (if ordered from overseas, will cost around Rs.22,000/- (approximately $4500/-
Earlier I had a problem with my PSR 3000' display board, (I'd written about this in our Forum)
Why have the quality standards of Yamaha keyboards fallen so disgracefully ? Are they made to last for just a year or atleast till the warranty is valid ?
It is indeed, very upsetting for musicians like me to buy a Yamaha keyboard like the S900 and PSR 3000 and get a raw deal. We cannot afford the Tyros and definitely will not risk buying one now .
I checked the Net and found many S900 owners with various serious complaints about these keyboards.
I connected an external vide screen via the Video Out and fortunately, do not see this vertical line. Till I can sell the keyboard, I hope I can manage with this external screen
Have any of you S900 owners experienced this problem
My sincere advice to all owners of the S series is to dump them as soon as possible.
