K5synth

What do you mean by not able to access all menus?

Are you sure it's not only non-working buttons?(Non working need to be
cleaned)

If it would have been the cable between mainboard and screen, your
screen would have been all messed up.

Your K5m might need a reset. (remove the lithium battery and then
replace it).

My K5 before reset was like this(Have done this today):
-If PGM was at multi in the MIDI menu, when I clicked Single or Multi,
I was brought to Multi.
-Sound popped and was unstable,
-And this morning, when I clicked multi, the K5's mainboard  was
making noise and pixels  were gradually filling the screen.

If you reset it, you will need to redownload the sounds. You can get
midis on http://www.kawaius.com/ website containing the sounds.

You should bring it to a tech and tell him that it needs to:
-Get the buttons cleaned,
-add more solder on the two power supply board(MI-010 and MI-011), 
-Change the lithium battery
-Also, if there is no green backlight on the screen, ask to replace it
(optional since it's supposed to be something like 40 euros, I only
know the  european price, I live in Canada, and maybe it will return
to life by adding solder  to the Power Supply boards)
