Screen Freeze

[DiamondDust]

Never had any problems with my 900.
But, I have never loaded the v1.2 update.
I didn't trust it from the beginning when I heard of problems.
I am still running v1.1
I like the 3 note chord command from left hand too. 1.2 wanted
to change that.
So in light of this, how many screen freezers have indeed loaded
the v1.2?
Secondarily, I do not turn mine off. So Little power required
that I feel the electronics don't go cold/hot. But stay stable.
Auto off is indeed and surely disabled.
I also have it on the UPS...!

You should turn it off because the screen will fail if showing the same image for a long period..by fail i dont mean it will stop workimg at all but when you change lets say from style play sto style record ,of not yet,sometime in the future, you will see a static mirror of the style play image in every menu.Thats a problem for all display devices including older CRT monitors..

MCK, Good thinking!! However the work around is this: Lower
the brightness of the screen. (Which your thought led me to do.)

Menu > Dial

Almost dark. About 5% of full on bright.

I use the 900 a lot. And man o man that boot time!

If the display burns in, we'll have it replaced. There is no
evidence of this two year old display having a burn.

Compromise is fine with me. Thanks for the idea!

Well brightness is nothing like contrast so you just altered what you see , the pixels on screen are still in charge and showing the same color!
If you have it like that for 2 years then maybe the display is top quality or a small burn in doesn't matter that much as you are not playing video on it hahaha
You are talking about the pa900 boot time but you wouldn't say it if you had a pa800 256mb (boot time around 4:30 minutes) hahahah

I've just bought a PA900 and already experienced with the screen freeze. When it does, the screen will not respond at all and I have to touch any other button from the keyboard then it will get out of the freeze mode. I usually press the Exit button or step on the damper pedal. My PA900 is running OS 1.20.

So is this issue for all the keyboards?

Thanks

I haven't any issues with the problems that have been discussed, but I do get a Timeout Entry (or something like that) freeze when I try to load a large mp3 file usually exceeding 50 Mb. I usually just turn it off.It's backround music anyway, but I learned to shorten the files (20 min) and had no problem after that.
