Hi Folks,

All of a sudden I have a number of LED's that are staying lit no matter what program I am using. Please see the photo. It's the volume on the organ and piano and the six drawbars on the organ. From what I can it is not affecting the programs but I own a backline rental company and can not send it out like this on rentals.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Please help!!

I believe Nords use a matrix-type control for the LEDs: If one of the control bits gets stuck, groups of LEDs all activate at the same time.
Possible causes could be debris on the circuit board shorting the control signal to ground (or Vcc), or the IC driving the control line might have failed.

There's a chance that a loose cable between the motherboard and the front panel control board might cause this behaviour too, so please check this also.

Thanks! I'll have my keyboard tech look into this.
