Just another guy, really.
Picked it up cheap- but a few keys won't trigger, two are LOUD, like you are hammering on them hard (keys are pressure-sensative) even when using a very gentle touch. Non-triggering seems to move around a bit, even tho I took it apart and cleaned the thing well, and used spray contact cleaner on the triggers.

I read of some stuff you can paint onto the trigger pads, but it's expensive, and I only need a very little. Also don't want to take the rubber trigger rows off again- a couple of the little rubber tits began to pull off and I don't want to lose them. I can get the spray straw under them, the spray also gets under them from can pressure.

But I am going NUTS chasing this thing around. Any experienced-based suggestions?
 
I'm responding to this post because I'm having the same problem with the keys not responding - some of them do, some of them don't, even through MIDI. I'm about to open it up and try cleaning it. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Sydney
 
I tried contacting Roland, they wouldn't tell me ANYTHING. Acted as if they thought I'd KILL myself if I dared to open the thing up. Jerks.
