Dear Eddie: It's possible that lightning may have damaged some component(s) in the keyboard's components. That the Display shows life is a good sign, as replacing it can be quite expensive.
The length of your absence on deployment may have played a part if the keyboard was not stored under the best of conditions. Heat, humidity, excessive sunlight etc. may have caused the plastic pad and contacts under the keys to decay.
If you live near an authorized Yamaha Dealer or Service Center,compare their cost of repair against that of a professional shop (ask a keyboard store where they send defective units for repair). Weigh the repair quotes against the cost of buying a new keyboard and the value you place on yours. Hope this helps.
