I just got my musical keyboard back from storage, and now when i slam down a grouping of keys, the thing craps out on me. Like there is a short, and too much feedback through the speakers, im aware that you shouldnt be playing that way, and thats not how to handle a keyboard, but im concerned about this anyway. Any ideas?
Does it have onboard speakers?
If so, try to tighten down (fix firmly in place) the wire mesh that protects the speakers, if it's loose, it will vibrate and cause distortion in the sound.
I once had to repair a portasound which sounded really crappy when a group of keys was struck at high volume, and it would only calm down when i fixed the speaker mesh so that it didn't vibrate with loud sounds.
You may want to put some rubber or similar into the groove where the mesh edge fits in to prevent it from vibrating (i solved mine just by tightening up the mesh strips where they protrude into the housing).
If this doesn't help, then it's something else (possibly a bad or dirty connector contact or a bad solder contact).
