it's pretty old... like, maybe 1999 at the oldest.... when i go to plug it in, it won't turn on, but sometimes, if i sit there for thirty or so minutes and rotate the plugin thingie, it will switch on, and the keyboard will play, but the screen is blank. it might be dead, and if so, i'm willing to accept that, i guess. but if there's any logical answers, i need them. this thing is my best friend, haha...
