Maybe the ROMs are rotting out, but I'd make sure the power supply is working properly first. I had one unit starting to have cracked solder joints on the power supply board in the late 90s. It had a lot of hum coming from the headphones and output jacks. Capacitors could be going bad as well too. If you can check with a multimeter, maybe you have a lot of AC ripple or wrong voltages coming through

Hi,
It looks like a rom problem?
Have you tried new ROMS ?

Hello K5 Group,


After letting the K5 sit for a few days with the battery disconnected and the display not plugged in, I decided to try it out again with no battery.

Surprisingly I was able to adjust parameters, change MIDI channel turn on/off system exclusive as if all was normal.

Then, suddenly it stopped and I was back to the limited selection, most parameters not working but still able to make a few choices.

So I now believe I do have a functioning unit, yet something is still wrong.

I'm going to try to repeat the last setup and see if I get the same results.
