Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thanks again Keith.  I looked for cracked joints and didn't see any. I used a multimeter to check for continuity and it seemed fine. So, in desperation, I pulled the Ribbon Cables out again and used a Q-tip and alcohol in an attempt to clean them again (No residue came off this time),put them back into the connectors (Shorter one is actually in crooked). Put it back together. And P.F.M. It works great again (for Now).

Thanks again for all of your advice.

Gary
