Depending on what instrument this is, CHECK that the front of the key is NOT contacting the case and dragging.

Some instruments use a silicone rubber dome that contains conductive rubber "pills" that are pressed onto circuit traces for contacts. In these cases, OFTEN the silicone rubber acts as the resoring spring and if it is damaged can cause your problem.

Yet another scenario is that a plastic "hinge" that the key pivots is broken.

You have to open the instrument to analyze and the cause will probably be obvious once you do so.

I have a Casio cdp 100 keyboard and two of the keys are stuck in the down position. Almost like the spring has gone in these 2 keys. Can this be fixed and if so, how?

is it under warranty ?
if not
you may have to contact your point of sale to find their local repairer

if you cant un stick them yourself that keyboard will have to be taken apart

are the two keys ... white keys or black ...nearby or way apart
do the two keys drop loose..and lift up
or stay down
example will vacuum cleaner suction help lift the stuck keys or not

Where and how can I buy a replacement keyboard for Yamaha CVP 305M? Thanks, Michael

There is a well documented problem that occurs with the keybed on some of these models due to a manufacturing fault. Take a look at the keys that are sticking. Is the gap on either side of the key the same ? If not then the key normally leans slightly to the left rubbing on the adjacent key causing the sluggish action. The fixing tab at the back of the key breaks causing the spring pressure to push sideways.

You can just replace the offending key but the problem will eventually return. You could replace the whole keybed but this is a very expensive fix.

Keys are around £ 15.00 each.
Replacement keybeds around £ 450.00

How do I remove the hammers from a RD 300S

There's probably a broken return weight or two. It's easy to remove the keys and get to the weights below them AFTER the keyboard bed is raised slightly.My email address is [email protected] if you have any further questions.

Middle D key apparently was jarred loose in transport. It is sticking up and won't return to its original position, and playing the key produces no sound.

Call Yamaha at 714-522-9000 and ask for a tech who works in your area. Attempting self repair could void any garuntee that is covering the problem.

How do I slip a shiv between neck and body to raise action

Might want to rethink that....to raise the action is to have the strings higher off the fretboard....if you shim the neck in relation to the body, you'll actually lower the action. To raise the action you need to raise the height of your bridge/saddles. If you want to lower the action and the bridge/saddles are as low as they can go you could remove the neck and insert some card - might have to do some trial and error but to my mind...to shim enough to significantly lower the action, would take a thick shim and you might not get a good tight fit between neck and body. You might actually need a truss rod adjustment - not an amateur adjustment.

A key can't raise up

The unit will have to be opened and the key restored to the normal position. Most have a spring, sometimes a leaf type that holds the key up and locked in. When opening the unit care must be used as there are ribbon cables between the halves of the cover.

How to lower the action on a les paul safely

The bridge should be on two posts, both of them with knurling on the edge. These screw into the body of the guitar, allowing you to raise or lower the action of the strings. Turn them clockwise to lower the action, making sure to turn them the same amount, so as to keep the strings even. You WILL have to re-adjust intonation after this.

Hope that helps!

Two of my keboard keys got hit by a child. They won't return to playing position. CLP-370

Hi there,
you'll need to open the keboard and check for the keys that has a missing mechanism on it. It usually is a stopper to prevent the keys from "sticking". You can use crazy glue or mighty bond to stick the broken parts together.

Hope this helps

How to lower the action on a b.c.rich warlock bronze series

To fix the action on your B.C.Rich Warlock, you need an Allen Wrench, or Hex key. There is a truss rod cover on your B.C.Rich's headstock. Just open it using a screwdriver and you will find the truss rod. Then adjust the action using the hex key.

I have a CVP-96. when any key is presses and released it makes an audable bump sound when it returns. The return thumps actually intrude on soft music. Silenced with earphones the noise can be heard across...

There is OFTEN a felt strip that the keys come up against at the lip of the case, either near the end of the keys or right where they disappear near their middle. SOMETIMES this strip gets knocked off.
