Yes, my A6 arrived with that issue on one key (a D#, IIRC).  Fortunately, I 
was able to take it directly to Alesis for servicing (thank you Mike P for 
arranging!).  Which, as I remember, wasn't really necessary.  I *think* it 
was just a case of cleaning the contacts under the rubber strip, so the 
hardest part was getting all the screws out of the A6.  That was about 
three years ago, and the keyboard has worked great without any issues ever 
since.
