Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Hi Evan,

first of all I would turn the synth upside down, shaking it and so on 
and see if it's get worse, maybe a wire or connector isn't connected 
properly anynore...
After that I would open the synth and check if everything is in 
place, de- and reconnect (and maybe carefully cleaning) all 
connectors since it could be a connection problem caused by oxidation 
and looking if all cables are ok and on the right place.  
Has the CZ1000 a display backlight? In case of my CZ-1 the backlight 
had a short ciruit with the metall cover of the display and when I 
was playing it caused the synth to hang up and sometimes even lose 
its patches...
Another thing to check is if the problems start when the synth is 
getting warm or the Led starts flickering even from the start... 

...Summa
