Hi. I really looked carefully for ANY leakage since I ran into it before but no= ne visible. I disconnected the keyboard right in the house since there has been so much= trouble too before reving the set. I will try removing the micro tomorrow and associated componets since I'm a= t the end of my rope today. Thanks!
