Hey guys, I'm a brand new member here, so please be kind
I have had the Nord Piano 2 for about 18 months. I haven't used it very often, until recently. But this is where the problem started!!
As you will see from the video I have attached, I am getting flickering lights all the time. And randomly, the piano will change the voice for me, which is very awkward during a show.
Any and all help is gratefully received!!

You might need to replace one of the buttons, this is caused because the small membrane made of metal might have been under hard pressure and this causes to create false contact with the circuit and send random ghost signals, that affect the rest of the parameters. In order to find it, I would suggest try one by one, press on, press off, see the result, try and error until you find the one that is causing this.
The fault was traced to the main board after trying a working board which didn't show these symptoms.
I think the main board was getting a lot of random button presses due to dry joints/missing component connections inline to the control board.
These are located on the RHS near the IDC connectors.
I guess constant movement in a gigging environment will cause issues and eventually lead to failure.
This particular board had previous repairs, but they weren't very good and some components weren't connecting to the PCB tracks.
The joints were touched up with plenty of flux and wire run to join to the tracks.
