Battery stuck Last battery (of 6) is corroded and stuck deep in the keyboard. I have tried many tools but can't get it loose. Thank you.

    Success! Unscrewed the entire back of the keyboard and used a screw driver to shove two severely corroded batteries out. Then used a toothbrush with baking soda/water paste to clean out the corrosion. Installed new batteries after everything dried, and it actually works!! Those batteries were probably in there for over 10 years!

When I press the keys any harder than a light touch on my Yamaha, the entire piano keyboard turns off and on again. Is there a wire loose or something? How do I fix it? It's my friend's Yamaha

Is the unit operated directly from the mains or via a mains adaptor (transformer) If it is the later then my guess is that the socket owhere you plug the power adaptor in is loose. They have a habit of breaking away from the circuit board. When you then move the keyboard it breaks the connection . You can test this theory by turning it on, looking at display or light that is on, move the plug and see if it cuts out. If it does the fault is here. Replace the socket and if needed repair pcb as pads tend to break away from board.


If it is mains operated or power socket is OK then it could be loose cables or a break on the PCB. The socket option is the more likely.


If you need more specific info on your keyboard please state make and model and request further info under this topic.

I have my sound banks layered. My first bank is piano on top and acoustic bass on the bottom. Last night it started to detune. When I hit the C key, the piano would play a C, but the bass bottom layer...

Sound banks does not define what keyboard you might have... HOWEVER... THINGS TO CHECK: Check if the bass MIGHT have a transpose set by mistake. Also check if pitch bend might be active... some keyboards can use a pitchbend pedal... We can't guess what brand or model keyboard you have. Batteries are NOT anything that would cause this. Remember that on a keyboard there is a LIMIT to the number of sound generators that are available and you can run out of polyphony with mass layering. The last thing might be any "effects" you have activated. It sounds like you can split this keyboard so separate transpose MAY be possible that low end is transposed while upper is not...

Hi , I,m Itali , sorry for my English , but I'have a problem with KC-350 ( similar KC-550) The general Gain it's not responding. The output signal is very very low and very noisy. Thank for...

Sounds like you have a poor or open ground if the loud noise is 50 or 60 Hertz. If you have the loud noise when the keyboard not connected then the open ground is in the amp. Often times it is only a cold or bad solder connection which you can touch up with a solder iron and some rosin core solder. If the noise disappears when the keyboard is not connected then I would look at the patch cord first and the connectors second. If you have a second amp you can test to cord and keyboard to verify the problem is the keyboard. If you have to touch up the solder connections, unplug and open up the unit. Make sure all connectors or seated and none of them are loose. Use a grounded three prong solder iron and 60/40 rosin core solder. Heat up connections on the connector and add a small bit of solder to each connection. Next heat up the solder connections on the circuit board and quickly add some solder. Caution, do not apply to much heat on the circuit board or the copper trace will lift off the board so you need to use as little heat as possible just to start the solder to flow then let it cool.

Hi, i have a problem with my casio wk 210 keyboard. when i push a key then the note keeps playing and doesn't stop. i have tried turning off the power and turning off reverb and none of them fix the...

It sounds like the sustain is stuck on as if a sustain pedal is active. You don't mention if you have one, however if you MIGHT have one and you have used a Roland pedal, that brand is reverse sensed and would cause note to remain on.

My keyboard keeps shutting off within a minute or two of playing. The woman I purchased it from told me that it had an auto-off battery saving mechanism if you don't touch a key for a while, but this...

If you are running on batteries, they are either depleted OR may have corrosion on the contacts in the keyboard which is COMMON problem. If using an adapter, the cords chronically work loose. A last problem is the switching for using battery or adapter can have poor contacts. If you don't have an adapter, get one and get one SPECIFICALLY for the keyboard... I don't know how many I have had to tell they have the wrong adapter and that is why their unit won't work.

Yamaha Motif 6 froze, tried re-booting screen is stuck on the initial page "Now Checking plug-in board..." Also unplugged the keyboard.

This is a long shot... If you have an add-in option board it may have become dislodged from the socket. If you move your keyboard this may be what happened. In any case it needs to be opened and look for loose cables, board, OR if you have a hard drive, the drive may have failed. The software in these units isn't smart enough to give the user any details of the failure/hangup.
