Do you gig with your S900..??? Does it get moved around much? You're kinda at the mercy of the tech on this one. Hell that bulb could have simply been a ticking time bomb waiting to blow... You may have not even cracked the thing.., and the bulb may have simply blown and you're getting the run-around on a warranty repair backout.

If your board just sits in one place..., you'd have to bang it up pretty hard to crack that LCD bulb. Hell.., many guys here perform with theirs all the time and haven't blown an LCD bulb. I'd fight em on this one man!

Well since this is a matter between me and the credit card company's extended warranty program - and not between the tech and Yamaha, I am going to talk with him about how he writes this up on the repair receipt so I get reimbursed for labor - about $100. As we stated, parts is way out of warranty.

Beaky,

So sorry to hear about your board. That is highway robbery if you ask me. Seems you haven't had the board that long to have a major expense of this nature. I guess it's a good thing that you have a backup. You just have to book a few more jobs, which should be no problem for you

Beaky.....
big deal thats one gig & a few polkas .....just get it done and keep going you'll make that back this week with all your gigs!...& keep playing the lottery too

Hell.., can't you use that as a tax write off...?

Thanks for the encouragement.

I will admit that the damage is a lot more palatable than a medical bill.

And I must be grateful that the failure occurred at home and not on the job.

And I will look into American Music next keyboard upgrade.

I got reimbursed handsomly by credit card insurance. Much more than expected. That's all I will say.
