K5synth

Howdy,

 As you probably already know, my k5 came DOA. It only
displays k5single on ALL the presets and the whirly
wheel does nothing when trying to alter midi stuff.
The battery is a healthy 3.05 volts, but it only plays
one sound. I think the place to start is with a new
eprom. Please let me know about cost and payment
method. Thanx
Rig
