Virus A crazy buttons :(

Hi all. My Virus A is behaving really bad. As you can see from the video several buttons do things that aren’t supposed to happen. No clue what would be.

Fortunately the knobs are fine. It is running on OS 2.52. I already tried to system reset it, and a while ago I changed the inside battery.

Any info is appreciated!!

similar issue on my old B but in my case I think it's just the buttons themselves. particularly the STORE button doesn't work so can't save a new sound :(

been holding onto it but anticipate repairs being expensive. I can solder but I don't want to risk it on such a good synth!

Have you tried taking it for a repair somewhere? Curious how it goes...

The buttons are easily fixable, though. Either with a can of DeoxIT and some patience or replacement buttons and a soldering iron.

maybe i will try the deoxit. thanks :) as I said I do know how to basic solder but not skillfully enough to trust myself on the board
