Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

well so since you are obviously into this for the long haul & money no object
you should be checking the ebay austrailia, uk, germany france belgium/holland, italy etc etc and any of ther online sales sites as well for spares/repairs and build up your own stock -- 
maybe even have to buy some working ones to cannibalize?
 ie maybe 1 working one could get 2 +  up --
 that is unless they are suffering the same fault

speaking from experience as
i had same problem with my rm-50's -- 
in 2009  the lcd cracked in cargo hold flying from london to barcelona for a show -- 
as there are no longer parts in ANY yamaha service wharehouse --
 i now own 4
oh and as i use the dtxpress [version one] as my main trigger/vox module 
so i also own 4 of them -- 2 based in usa -- 2 based in france

so cogitate on it
and good luck in any event

       Pretty frustrating-was told by Yamaha authorized
 service tech-sorry we don't support these anymore or
 have replacements parts. Better buy a new one. What a bunch
 of crap, in plain English. I will keep searching. I hve 4
 perfectly sound Yamaha pieces needing repair, and nobody in
 all the US can repair these? and what happens to these
 "unrepairable" units-they become very toxic and
 expensive landfill? That just doesn't seem right to me.
 Time to get in touch with the Japanese people who made them.
 I mentioned in another post  getting in touch with Yamaha
 Japan. I will do that whether I can translate or not, there
 has to be a way these things can be brought back to life. 
 I have tried 3 different US repair facilities, all
 authorized Yamaha repair shops, none of them could do a
 thing. Good thing houses, cars and just about every other
 business does not operate like this. I can get a 25-year old
 garage door opener service, but I can't get a lousy drum
 module repaired? And I was willing to pay whatever the going
 factory rates were, still couldn't get anyone
 knowledgeable to even try. At least Advanced Musical
 Electronics tried, but they are tied to Yamaha for parts,
 and Yamaha won't supply the parts-so the circle
 continues.
