I just got a roland d-70 from my school band director because it didn't work. When first turned on, it appears functional and the Roland logo scrolls up, but when it goes to the main screen, it's scrambled at the top where the name of the voice should be and at the bottom where the names of other performances should be. All other screens that I've seen are fine and so far I've tried resetting it to the factory settings but that hasn't worked. I've changed patch levels and part levels, but it still makes no sound except for the built-in demo. I don't know a lot about synthesizers and I don't have any more ideas. The software is version 1.1.16

I can either reboot or hit the exit button and it will usually be fine. When I first purchased it a few years back, the weights on the keys went bad. I took it to the local Roland dealer figuring a pretty good sized repair bill. To my surprise, they fixed it for free, putting a whole new keyboard on it. This thing is over 15 years old! The dealer said Roland really does try to take care of their customers. Take it in for an estimate, you might get lucky too. Jeff
