Re: DKC500R powering off

2012-08-26 by tintinlad320

Yes maybe; when I had opened the unit i carefully looked ant check around for loose onnetore . Is there a way to check directly that power button ? 
his kind of problem is not happening all the time which makes it difficult I guess to analyse...
I should try to find a disklavier tech but I have the impression they are not to many around where I live (Nice, France). Ans in the case of a button problem the fix would be probably to send the unit for repair... are they repairing such unit still... not in Paris I guess !
