Manuals for Concert Piano Korg C-15
I have a Korg Concert Piano (C-15S) which was working perfectly till about two months ago. I have been on vacation for two months, had left the piano unplugged from the electric supply point, but on re-connecting now, I get no sound from it. Is there a reset button (or other device) that I may have to use? Appreciate your advice.
Thank you,

I need to remove the cover from my Yamaha DGX 505
So I know this questions is well over a decade old now and that if you can't figure out how to open the keyboard, maybe you shouldn't be messing around inside it, but I also was puzzled on how to open it for a little while before figuring it out. It should open once all the screws are out, however, while most screws are visible just from looking at it from the bottom, there are about 6 more screws that aren't immediately visible - there are 2 inside the battery compartment and 2 behind each of the black wooden panels that house the speaker compartments. Be slow and careful when opening it up as there are connections that go across the two case pieces (open it with the keys facing next to you and lift it up slowly). I needed to fix a C key that was always playing too loud and I don't have professional repair money. I was able to figure out what was broken and fix it just by comparing it to other keys. I've been working on my PC parts as a gamer since I was like 10-years-old though so I'm familiar with the necessary precautions with circuit boards. I don't think it's *that* complicated or dangerous as some people here like to make it out to be. Don't touch it with metal while it's powered on, discharge electrostatic charge from yourself by touching something else metal before touching the circuit boards and/or wear an electrostatic-reducing wrist band, use isopropyl alcohol to clean (not water), don't power it on until it's completely dry, be gentle and don't bend any metal or components.
No sound from Yamaha keyboard
Hi,
Since your keyboard works fine with the PC. That means the problem is with the keyboard's Speaker. Either your speaker cable or speaker itself is not working... you have to identify that whether the problem is of speaker wire or speaker.... see that whether the service manual of your gadget is available or not.. if available then purchase the same. It will help you a lot for while repairing
Hope this has helped you....
Thanks...

I have a dgx-505 yamaha
I know this is an old post, but I just found my own solution to the same problem. I downloaded the 64 bit driver for the CP300 keyboard and it worked.
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

Sustain pedal on Yamaha DGX not working
I had the same problem, its to do with the polarity of the pedal. My pedal had a polarity switch on the bottom just flick this over and this should fix the problem. Otherwise another solution was to hold the pedal down and turn the keyboard on.
I have a yamaha electone hs4, The foot pedals do not work.
JM: Your problem is this: There are rubber washerson the bolt that holds the pedal on. They are shot. Most likely Yamaha doesnot have the parts.Go to the plumbing dept of a hardware store and get some faucet washers and replace them. YYou can tell if the washers are shot by tiping over the organ and looking at the pivot bolt. Most likely that is yoiur problem. I am an organ tech. and have replaced many of these. DM
