Emax

Hiya all.  I'm new to this and sort of ignorant of mechanical things in
general, but I'm hoping someone here might have insight to a couple of
problems w/my EmaxII.

1.  The pitch wheel doesn't work.  The modulation wheel works fine but the
Pitch wheel not at all.  It springs back as it should but has no effect on
the sound.  I've made sure it is set to "on."  I've tried to re-set the
values (up/down/middle) but it doesn't show any change while I'm trying to
set them and it still doesn't work at all afterward.  I've also opened it up
and looked inside for any obvious  problems (something disconnected that
shouldn't be, etc.) but as far as my admittedly ignorant eye can see
everything seems okay.  Any ideas? 

2.  Sometimes the release of a sound gets mucked up.  I'll be using a sound
meant to have a quick release, but instead it'll keep playing (sometimes as
long as a full second) after I lift my finger(s) off the key(s).  I go in
and look at the release setting and the parameter of the sound is set where
it should be.  Then, usually a few seconds or minutes later, it suddenly
starts playing just fine, as if nothing was ever wrong.  What's the deal?  

Much thanks in advance for anyone's comments/suggestions.
