The Broken Display Dilemma

The display on my brand spankin’ new Roland Fantom G6 synthesizer just quit working the other day. When I first bought the keyboard, the display had one stuck pixel. Before the warranty ran out, I had planned on getting it serviced. I’ve just been too busy enjoying it in my studio and doing other things. Now, when you turn the ‘board on, the display just comes up all white. This really stinks. It still plays, but you can’t do much of anything without the display. So I had to drop it off at an authorized service center the other day. They said it could take three weeks to get it back. Ouch! By the time I finally get it back, the labor warranty will be up. I’m worried that it will go out again! Can’t these big companies give us a better warranty on something so expensive? I own a lot of Roland stuff, and it has all stood the test of time well, but this new keyboard has me fairly worried that the display is extremely fragile. Maybe I should break out my Roland Super Jupiter MKS-80 and write a song with some phat synth leads in it to cheer me up.
