K5synth

Well, the K5SINGLE thing is normal if the synth was reset by the seller 
or you, but not the dead wheel.

I'm not sure the EPROM will help since the wheel just doesn't work in 
your case, which is a problem I never saw with V1.0 K5s, and you even 
said that you reset the synth. Have you already opened the synth(There 
are two screws going in the cover on each sides that need to be 
removed)? Could you make sure that the wheel is well connected to the 
board at the right? Some solders and wires could be cracked/broken too, 
the one under the LCD panel for example.
