Two of these known to the owner of this one have shown the same

the rotary encoder switch.
Have taken apart but not reassembled yet , unenclosed . Only 0.2mm

electronic/software or internal rotary encoder problem

I never had any problems with my GT6. Used it to gig with from 06 to
08.

I asked, at receipt, whether this one had been connected to a pc and it
had not. I've just asked whether it had been connected to a sequencer
and so maybe the other one had as well, transferring corrupted code.
This 6B same as the e-service 6 pdf as far as display is concerned ,
buffers between uC and display seem to be operating correctly but still
scrolling with the switch and rotary board disconnected. No obvious ESR
problems, little much else to do, check a few V if 6 and 6B agree there.

Well the 6B must have had a USB port if you are talking PC connections.
Mine had no USB. I don't recall if you could upload new patches using MIDI
as I never did.
