Hello,
An user mail me because your VFX-SD have some troibles.
What he wrote was all about know issue keyboard calibration, so I recommend the classic solution (hardwire).
He did all work and everything seems works OK.
A couple of days after, he write again telling the VFX-SD became crazy. When he press a key, sometimes make sounds; sometimes no. The sounds remainds althought he release the keys; sometimes he press one time and the synth plays two notes.
The battery is new and hardwire is done. Does somebody know what it can be happening?
Any info is welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Fabio

This might sound stupid but I found myself having the same problems even with the hardwire modifications when I had used the keyboard in a cold, damp location for an extended period.
To fix it, I would reload the OS and keep a space heater on the keyboard and it seems to work, although that's probably not the scientific answer that you're looking for.

Thanks again,

There are two boards underneath the keys for the
polyphonic aftertouch. Sometimes the connections
between the two get oxydated. Maybe take a look there
too (but it's a long process: you'll need to unscrew
all the VFX parts !!).
