I have the Ax-7, and I've replaced the ribbon twice, each time because it would fail to return to the correct pitch. It got a little better the last time, but still not completely fixed.. The repair shop eventually told me it was a problem with the motherboard itself, and that it would be around $500 to get a new one.. which is just ridiculous. Might want to try to take it to a shop and have them use a sensor to see if your ribbon is just faulty, or if you have a similar, worse, problem.
