Casio Keyboard Power Adapter Logo
Anonymous Posted on Feb 02, 2011

My adaptor use to work fine now it wont work I found out it was the piece on the back where the adaptor plugs into, If I jiggle it and move it sometimes the power light will come on but it works fine with batteries so I know its not that and the adaptor works fine also so how should I fix this piece? or where do I get a replacement or repair?

It may be simply a bad solder connection on the board where the connector is located...to determine this you will need to disassemble the unit to gain access to the pc board...you will need to look at the underside of the board(usually it's green) and look at the solder connections where the plug connector is...these solder connections should be clean and shiny...if they look like there is cracks around the pins where the connector solders to the board, then you will need to resolder the connector...if the connections look ok then you may be able to obtain one from radio shack...or try casio, or even ebay for the connector

You can get that fixed if you can find someone who can solder. The jacks wear out over time on a lot of things. The jacks themselves are worth about $1 but it is the labour to open the case and solder a new one in.

The contacts in the jacks are spring loaded so these can wear or get damaged etc. So eventually they won;t make good contact and you get your problem. You see this a lot on laptops. You can twist or apply pressure on the plug until you get it to power up. This is more luck than anything when it works and eventually it will get to a point where it won;t connect anymore. This really is a simple repair but finding someone to solder the new jack in is the problem.

I have't used my dtexplorer electronic drum kit for five years and now it wont power up. Any suggestions? Does it have to have the lithium battery working or should it work off mains without it?

Assuming you are using the Yamaha power adaptor you need to try and fault trace.
Is there power from the adaptor? If you have any other products that use the same power adaptor or have access to a digital multimeter measure the voltage.

If this is correct move on .

When you plug the power to the DTX express, does the socket feel loose?

If so the socket solder joint have failed - a fairly common fault Replace the socket ( this will require soldering )

If you still have a problem then the fault lies within the command unit and will probably need further specialist testing.

Pss680 keyboard ,we turn the button on and no power.we have tried it with batteries and the adaptor and still no power,wondering if you are able to offer some advice.

If it was just no working on power adaptor I would have suggested the socket was faulty. However as not working on batteries I would suggest it is the on/off switch.

From what I can remember the PSS680 used a slide on/off switch which when you look inside has a metal piece that makes the circuit on the PCB track. Over a period of time this can wear or get clogged up with dust etc.

The other thing you could check is, do you think a wrong adaptor might have been used. Check the polarity against the picture shown on the back of the keyboard. If it is wrong you may have blown some of the power diodes.

What happens if I plug a 110v device into 220v outlet WITH adaptor

Is the adapter simply a plug adapter or does it step down the voltage? If it steps down the 22ovac to 110vac then the device should work fine. If it simply changes the plug to fit then you will fry the amp. What is the brand and model number of the adapter?

Keyboard wont play with ac adaptor

Hi, Assuming you have tested with another adaptor then invariably it is a broken solder joint on the power input connector.
Re soldering will work but eventually the same thing occurs.
Set the connector in epoxy resin (Araldite) or better still mount a new connector in the case and wire with flying leads.
All the best, Chris the Fader.

Power falier

Power failure?

First check the power supply / adaptor to ensure this is working correctly. Measure the voltage using a multimeter - if this is correct move on ( if not replace power supply )

Does the keyboard work if you hold the plug in the socket or move it slightly ? If so this is a common problem as the power socket on the pcb fails at the solder joint and will need to be repaired / replaced.

If this appears to be solid then you may have done some internal damage by either plugging in a power adaptor with a too high voltage or wrong polarity. If this is the case you may have blown some circuitry inside which controls voltage regulation.

Please report more if you have more information.

I have a Yamaha PSRE413. on/off does not work with adaptor, but works with batteries

If you are using the correct adaptor then the most likely reason is that the socket where the adaptor plugs in has broken away from the circuit board and will need to replaced/resoldered.




if you need a socket Google : Yamaha PSR power socket ( KPA3 / PA130UK / EPA3 ) (LB30226R)


OR if you have used the wrong mains adaptor and the polarity was reversed you may have damaged the diodes / voltage regulator on the power input.

I have a variax 700 modelling acoustic guitar, On occations it just dies ie,no power or sound. I disconnect everything plug it all back up and still nothing. If I leave disconected for an hour or so...

I don't have a Variax but it sounds like an IC (integrated circuit) inside the guitar is getting hot and until it cools down, it does not function properly. Try the Line 6 website to find the nearest repair center. Good Luck!

Headphones don't work right.

It might be that the contacts for the headphone jack is very dirty. Try using a cotton swab with a wd-40 on it to clean the inside contacts on the jack.
