@hipogrito

Thank you very much.

Yes, I am very happy, after 5. years spinning with restart. I will not get overly excited in advance, as a long period is needed to reach a final conclusion.
How are you?
I wish you all the best.

Looks like my PC3LE8 reboot woes are over. The keyboard was at the repairman's, and according to him, it was the power supply device. It claims that it was not a system failure published in the bulletin 910558-001 — June 2013. That surprised me a lot since the keyboard manifestations were very similar to the description in the bulletin, and also to the great video clips I watched.
So far, everything works as it should, at least what I've tested, except for the first pad on the right, which only turns on in red. It works in all setup modes, but in red color. What could it be, are the blue and white LEDs burned out, or is something wrongly connected. As far as I know, it is software controlled from the OS.
Any suggestion on this topic is welcome.
As for the reboot, a longer period of time (perhaps a year) is needed for a final opinion.
I hope it doesn't happen again, because it's a very good instrument.

Thanks to @cecchino for nice wishes. Thanks for all your attention.

Finally, the PC3LE8 is at the repair shop. The whole thing escalated to the point where I barely did backup sounds. It restarted 6-7 times, immediately after switching on.
I hope he manages to fix it. In general, that fault is known, as well as the way to fix it.

Thanks hipogrito,

You are always here to help.

Service Centre for Kurzweil instruments doesn't exist in Serbia.

Theay are not specialist for Kurzweil, they work all keyboards.

With PC3LE is special fabric hardware error, with capacitor.

Capacitor error. I'm afraid to do it myself, but even more to leave it to them.

Their theory is based on the connection of flat cables and their replacement.

I would not say that, because the instrument does not moved and it is in exceptional conditions of protection from dust.

That's why I hesitated so long (with service).

Thanks for all your attention.

Hi,

While restarting could be for several reasons, on the PC3LE the most likely scenario is a hardware issue that CAN be fixed if the service center is official and get the proper details from Kurzweil HQ. Once that is done, no more restarts due to that.
