    I have just replaced the battery on my PC88mx. After reassembly, I plugged
    the keyboard in and turned the power on. The display lights up, showing no
    words, with the top line fully lit (full blocks) and nothing lit on the
    second line.

    Is there a master reset that I can perform to reset the keyboard to factory
    settings?

    Thank you.

    Yes...I have a PC88MX and there IS a reset for the entire keyboard, however
    whatever you may have changed will be reset to factory settings. You must
    remember, this is a "hard" reset as al of the parameters on the PC88 are set
    to their initial factory state which includes all Setups and Effects.
    Just press "ENTER"...the display will as "are you sure"?

    Tom,

    I just replaced my battery on my PC 88 as well. Because I read a
    couple of warnings about it, I was alert to the fact that one of the
    ribbon connectors was very shirt and easily becames unplugged when
    opening the board. I made sure I plugged it back in before closing the
    board back up. When I closed the board back up, it ran perfectly,
    though my user mixes were lost (until I can reload them from a saved
    disk). It is possible that you inadvertently have unplugged that
    connector or something else. If a hard reset does not work, try
    opening the board back up and look for lose connectors.
