It was working great until I came into work one morning and it was dead. It says "Accent ready" like normal when you turn it on but nothing else. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the internal battery, altering or switching cables with no results. I haven't done anything with it for some time now but I may give one of the phone numbers Kirk hs given out recently and way back when I brought up my problem before. External synths are worth every bit of their weight in gold as far as I'm concerned.
