Not sure if everyone (PA3X/900) has seen this. Mine starts with 6000+, so I guess I'm good.

Question: Do I need to load in all past update OS or just the current one?

Thanks, exploring keyboard, although I'm a bit disappointed that it looks 'open box'. Settings made by a "john" tipped it off. argggg. They also forgot the power cord - what's that tell you. And Korg hours are better than a banker -sheesh.

... but it just applies to Pa3x, no? ...

It's very old news now. Mine was replaced almost two years ago on the PA3X. Models before April 2012 were affected.

T - correct. Stand corrected, it does not mention the 900.

My OS date is 3/11, but the ser # is 600... Is it possible someone played this for 3 years and never upgraded? With the serial number, is the history of my board available for consumer info/repairs/warranties?

There were only a very few that were affected. They replaced batteries in all of them more as a precaution.

Most manufacturers eliminate backup batteries many years ago. I would surprised if the 900 had one. No need for a backup battery when there are chips that do the same thing indefinitely and never need replacement. This technology changed with PCs more than a decade ago, when bios batteries were eliminated by a new form of chip.

If I remember correctly, the battery is for the clock and so it boots a little quicker. Nothing is lost if it fails.

Well, I sure love the board - fantastic. Graham, the keys are to die for - huge difference vs all 61s - much longer! (or it sure plays that way, all that matters).

GC tried to pull a fast one as NEW. I say camel cookies and I demanded a 'NEW' one. So my excitement is temporarily halted (GC policy that I have to return before they can place a new) - God only knows how long.

why not a hefty discount $$$ for used instead?

Zuki,

I can not believe GC gave you a better deal than Frank or several other known dealers????

Eery time I've checked GC, they have never had these keyboards in stock - you may still not get a "NEW" keyboard from GC.
