Roland Clan Forums

If Your interested I am getting rid of one for parts (it is dissfunctional electronically). Shoot me an email at nickbobay@aol.com

Roland has fully discontinued all parts and support for the SH 201. This means if your 201 experiences problems chances are it will be enormously difficult to fix any of the defects. Below is what happened to my synth. I've taken it to a Roland authorized service center they replaced the motherboard...

On a side note: Thanks Roland for being slow and relatively unhelpful in this situation.

So it looks as though my SH-201 is down and out for good. They finally got the motherboard in and it didn't fix the problem. Roland has successfully discontinued all parts and support for SH-201 keyboards which means I now have a beautifully useless faulty piece of plastic taking up room the studio....

....and i have only owned it for 3 years...reliable, I think not

Soo, Roland is charging $250 for a motherboard replacement, and 270 for labor which means....im going to have to pay just as much to fix as i payed for it new. Doesn't that seem....wrong?

Yeah, I talked to the guys at sweetwater, and it looks like I will have to bring it in. Luckily I live by sweetwater, and they have a Roland certified technical center which means no shipping involved!

<t>Ahhhhhhh!!!! This just happened to mine a couple days ago. I'm hoping like crazy someone knows what is going on. I treat my synth very well so it makes no sense that this is happening. It's a really terrible situation for me because I gig with it as my bass keyboard, but I'm stuck at three octave...
