Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

Also, my CZ1000 randomly turns off while playing. I assume this is some electrical issue way beyond my ability to fix and thus I am thinking of just replacing the board. (I assume it's cheaper to replace than to fix). Anyone else have this experience?

I don't know what you mean by "static"...

For sure cleaning can't make it worse :-) Use special cleaning liquid  
with lubrication for cleaning the pots and sliders which you can find  
in your country.

Concerning switching off: are you sure it is random? Or does it occur  
7 minutes after the last touching the instrument?

If yes, check the setting of APO switch. If you don't want automatic  
switching off, switch this function off. (And read the Owner's Manual  
more carefully to learn, know and use basic functions of your  
instrument.)

If not, there can be lot of reasons for such behavior - PSU problem,  
capacitors, oxidized connectors or IC sockets, cracks on PCB and more...
