  Sounds like the rotary encoder behind the data wheel has broken inside and is causing a short in the +5 volt line when you move it. These things have a life-span. Should be easy to find a replacement from Mouser or other electronic part source.

  Sounds like a bad ic somewhere to me. If your electronic savvy, you could open her up and look for something blown. Or, get a service manual & track the problem with a multimeter. I had to do that with mine. Blown opamp from someone plugging a sound source into the hold jack. I got my schematic from manual manor but a little googling could fetch a free one. Other than that, take it in to a qualified repair tech. Good luck to you.

  Hello All,

  New to the group and am currently troubleshooting an issue I'm having with my newly-acquired K5m.

  Whenever I turn the increment dial in any direction, it seems to reset the power on the whole module. The screen goes blank and then the power is restored (back to initial startup screen. 

  The module is running update 1.2

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thanks,
  -Matt
