I turned on my Kurzweil Mark 10 this morning and all of the panel lights lit up and stayed lit. The unit no longer operates. Any suggestions on what is happening and how to fix it? Is it going to need a visit to a service center? It's useless until I can get it fixed. I already tried unplugging it from the power for 10 mintues to no avail. Same result. Rob

Only (minor) drawback is you need to sign up with yahoo to participate in some of them. HTH, -- Chris.

The Mark 10 I have has the computer board on the right when the top is opened up for service which is where these chips would be. Seems to me it starts the boot up process so that the lights come on indicating the computer is working. MM
