Hi all
I am really new to this group, we have a Legend by Estey, sold by Fletcher Music of Florida.
This machine is not working, we have tried all the factory reset codes, make no difference
Please see attached error code.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If factory reset didn't help, maybe it's time to open the instrument  
and do usual stuff - check and clean all connectors, reseat IC's in  
sockets, check PSU if voltages are as they should be. Don't forget to  
check fuse(s)...

Then try reset once more.

It looks like there's some garbage in the memory, maybe leaving the  
machine without RAM battery (I'd suppose there's some) through the  
night can clean it. Then change RAM battery for new one.

If it doesn't help,  maybe there's a time for recapping PSU... and  
more deep checking...

I have had the back off but cannot see how to remove the Circuit Boards that are situated under the Keyboards. I am not sure what or how these are held in. I would like to start with the ram battery first, I can see them but not get at them.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
