I have a new Nord Stage 4 Compact. There are no issues with it, but I’ve noticed that when I walk with the instrument in its case, I can hear the cables touching the bottom part of the instrument. Is that normal?
I’ve taken apart my previous Nord Stage 3 many times, and I remember how it’s built — there are a couple of ribbon cables that touch the back cover. Is this normal, or should I take it in for service?

I wouldn't think that those flat cables should sound a lot when carried around. Can it be something else?

There were several users who reported that there were loose screws inside (I had two).

I opened my Nord and found that one of the thin wires under the keyboard had come loose and slipped out of its holder. I fixed it, and now nothing is moving around.

This looks as if it's the aftertouch sensor resistor.
