i bought a used PC3LE6 on eBay which arrived in excellent cosmetic condition, however shortly after booting up, as i was simply going through the preset programs/voices in Program Mode, all the front panel lights began blinking intermittently and all functions became completely frozen. i was able to escape the freeze up only after re-booting a couple times.
Following this rather disquieting incident, i was able to successfully update the old OS to the latest one available / v.2.26, and have not yet experienced a recurrence of this malfunction. subsequently, however, i have researched this model-specific issue on the internet, and i have discovered numerous accounts from users who have experienced the same exact issue and had it recur even after their PC3LE6 had supposedly been repaired.
having bought the unit used, i fear that, as it is no longer under warranty, the costs of repair and two-way shipping will most probably be prohibitive.
i still have a 10 day time window during which i can return the unit (at my considerable expense) for a refund of the purchase price, which, regrettably, appears to be my best option, unless i am convinced that there is, at least, a good chance that the OS update has solved the problem permanently,
my main question is this: has anyone who has experienced this problem found that, after updating the OS, the problem was permanently eliminated?
i would be most grateful for any info anyone could provide!
thanks & best wishes,
