No -- his "dead" AN200 probably does not need repair. This reply was 
unfortunate -- it caused me unnecessary anxiety after *the exact same 
thing happened to me* today! I consulted the Yamaha site, searched 
the web, and returned to this group for information, in vain.

Happily, I refused to believe that my pampered lil' AN200 could be 
dead just because the OS upgrade left it stuck on "KRNL." Solution? 
Upgrade failed repeatedly on my dedicated audio PC running XP and an 
early version of Cubase SX2. When I went to the trouble of using my 
newer, faster work PC and SX 2.20 -- voila! Near-instant resurrection.
