Hi Bruce and thanks for the quick reply,
 
I have the top panel off and was about to try resetting the connectors, when I found this on the internet.
What do you think about capacitors being the problem, especially for the display?
 
Thanks,
 
Steve

Hi Steve,

Most likely, it's due to a loose cable inside. The CX3 and BX3 are
notorious for working for weeks or months with a loose connection, only
to die instantly at the worst moment. Certainly, if popping the top of
the case doesn't scare you (or you have a tech), it's worth a try before
going on to more expensive ideas.

There are a LOT of connectors inside, but if you just disconnect and
re-connect them one at a time, it should be easy to keep track. It will
require a partial disassembly of the organ. I don't have step by step
instructions, but I seem to remember having to pull the top (wood
cover), the short black panel that covers the innards of the drawbars
and such, and the metal lid over the drawbars. If any of this scares
you, pass the info on to your tech.

Make sure that the organ has been unplugged for at least 1/2 hour before
rummaging around inside, and use ESD precautions. (A simple method is
to do the work in a room with wood or concrete floors -- no carpet --
and turn take your shoes and socks off first. Finally, touch a grounded
point such as a the cover screw on a known grounded outlet before going
inside, just to be sure. As long as the humidity is 40% or above, you
should be OK.) And try not to touch any of the connector pins when
reseating the connectors.

If you are near Ashby, MA hit me offline and I may be able to help you out.

Regards,

If I turned the unit off and then back on, all the lights come back on. Even if the lights went out while playing, it never affected the sound or the functionality of the buttons. Tonight I was playing and I turned the organ off during a break. When I turned the organ back on, all the red LED lights came on, but the digital display panel never lit up. Turned the organ on and off a few times, but still no display. Everything still functions, but no display. Any and all ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
