New Kronos 73 - touchscreen / plastic covering ?

Post by bkane »

just purchased kronos 73..... the touchscreen is not working, but believe it may be (hopefully) because there's a plastic protective coating put on for shipping....before i try to more aggressively remove, wanted to confirm with other owners that their touchscreen came covered w/protective plastic...and if so, how they removed....just want to avoid damaging screen.....

I don't believe there was a plastic coating on my Kronos 88. Just the white paper "LCD/Spacer Caution" document was covering the screen.

I would suggest calling Korg Product Support. You may have a hardware problem.

Sorry to hear you are having a problem.

+1, my K88 had the same problem - unresponsive screen, and it didn't have any protective plastin on the screen, just a pease of paper on top of it, you have a defective unit, sorry to hear about your problem, hope you will have your replasement soon.

P.S. : im still waiting for my replacement too

Thanks all. Very frustrating. Took a lot of work to track this unit down in first place. Thanks for the feedback.
