Sounds like a good rainy day project to get everything up and running again.


Nope, not at all. It's funny that, after figuring out everything that's wrong with my 3k, I now know what to tell other people to look for when buying a used one. :)

I don't know, I'm hesitant to open up my 3k because, the few times I've opened up my 2k, a pad stopped right after. I think one of them has to do with the ribbon cable that goes to the pads and another has to do with the one of the metal connects that the other end of the ribbon slides into. And, I tried replacing the the slider and that went awry too.

So, after all those experiences, I'm a little leery. But, I might give it a go, since it seems much easier to maneuver around the innards of the 3k.

I still need to get all those little things fixed on my 2k, but I'm just not willing to spend the money.
