  4. Roland VG2 how to drain/refill the dampers (service mode)

    Does anyone know the street fighter code to put the vg2 in service mode? I'm seeing some drippy symptoms that I remember resolving once by doing a damper flush. I had a tech on the phone who read me the button combo that time and I forgot to write it down. Thanks!

  8. This Old Roland (LEJ-640FT) - Temperature Is Too High

    This is the first error I've got that isn't a service call, so it seems like this one should be easy to fix. The ambient temperature is room temp, so that's not the problem. Seems like a faulty thermistor or something so I'll try to locate that and check the connections. Got any ideas what the...
