I have a Korg C-15S Piano that i just recently changed the fuses to becasue it wasnt turning on. After I changed the fuses it turned on for a bit and was working great. Later when I tried turning it back on again, it didnt want to turn on anymore. I checked the fuses and they were ok. I replaced them and the piano turned on again but some of the keys had a sound distortion. I turned it off and back on again and it seemed to go away for a bit but then it came back. Then all of a sudden the piano didnt want to turn on anymore. Can anyone help me with this problem?

Unless you are adept at electronic repair, this is probably NOT a DIY thing for you. Likely there is a problem in the power supply of the unit. Replacing the fuse MAY have blown something open for a bit but there is a residual problem thaat needs to be repaired. You MAY be putting the expensive portion of the unit at risk by replacing fuses while problem still exists. I would have unit repaired ASAP. If you do not have test equipment, then the ONLY DIY repair for you would be to replace the power supply as a unit rather than bad components. This MAY be the most economical solution for you.

    Well I have gone to school for electrical and electronics engineering. I have a multimeter to as the only test equipment for right now. What else would I need? Any ideas if on how to repair the power supply IF that is the problelm? Im sure I can work on it myself. I just need some ideas on where to look for the problem and how I could possibly fix it.

My Korg C-320 LC won’t turn on. The power button is not turning on. This happened quite suddenly....worked one day, would not turn on the next. Help!!

This is the help that the owner manual offers...completely useless.

Hi my Korg SP170S digital piano has just stopped dead no light, no power and now won't switch on.

First things to check, power supply unit, is it the original or the one that has previously worked - if yes check the output voltage with a meter to ensure this is working.

When you plug this into the piano if you wobble the plug does the socket feel loose? You may even get a tempoary connection, if you do or it feels loose the socket needs repairing.

If this all checks out ok the next step is move inside the piano, you will need to know a bit about electronics to proceed to this step.

Report back and I may be able to help further.

MY korg sg pro x sounds like a piano half way up the keyboard then it sounds like an organ? How do I get it to sound only like a piano

You have probably activeated a split point. Do a reset next time you turn it on and see if that doesn't correct the problem.

How can I get my keyboard to turn on?

Look in your manual or online for instructions on how to reboot or re-initialize your instrument. Normally it needs various specific buttons pressed when you turn the instrument on. This will reset the instrument to the factory settings and clear up most glitches, but you will lose any changes you've made, so it's always best to save your info periodically to an outside device.

Crackling speaker as soon as i switch on my digital piano

It looks like the Korg c-15s has a internally mounted speaker and so I will assume that the speaker and amplifier are part of the piano base. It sounds like either the speaker is blown (crackling sounds heard as deformed voice coil scrapes the magnet structure) or the audio amplifier is distorting the audio.

Connect the piano's output to an external amplifier and speaker to properly identify problem.

Korg sp-250 randomly changes the voicing

When was the last time you changed the batteries? You may have gotten a pack of expired batteries the last time you replaced them. I suggest changing batteries.Jimmy

Our brand new Korg SP170 worked great for several days. Today all the C keys and all the E keys quit making any sound. We checked all cords and connections, turned it off a bit and back on, with it plugged...

There probably is a cable or connection inside that is loose... The keys are scanned as a matrix so some connections are in common...

HOWEVER: Since you have had it several days DO NOT delay, call for warranty service. This is not a DIY repair unless you are adept and comfortable with electronics.

My Korg c15s has a lot of grating staticky noises when played ....I'm told it cannot be repaired as Korg no longer makes parts for this model?

I have a Korg C-15s and also experiencing loud crackling sounds when I turn it on. The problems seems to be either the sliding volume control or the amplifier itself. Honestly though, I believe the issue is the volume control. I opened my piano to get a closer look and attempted to clean the contacts on the volume. Unfortunately after cleaning the contacts, the crackling sounds became somewhat worse. After I turn the piano on, the volume control is generally rendered useless......volume set to low volume and the noise is quite loud and other times the volume control is set high and get very low volume crackling noise. No real consistency. The noise does diminish after a few minutes but so does the piano sounds to an inaudible level. There were a couple of instances where I turned it on and surprising enough, no no noise and perfect sound. For these reasons I believe the issue is within the volume control and not so much the amplifier. I have an electronics background and noticed that the volume control is very unique in design and is not something that can be substituted with another volume control from other sources.

My recommendation is to check the sound quality of the audio from the RCA L/R audio outs on rear of the piano by connecting to a stereo receiver. If it sounds fine you're in luck. If the crackling sound does not diminish after a few minutes like mine does, I would suggest disconnecting the internal speakers and using the audio out only. You can connect a pair of studio monitors or high quality computer speakers, preferably with a small subwoofer to deliver the full audio range and deeper tone of a real piano. I'm currently using a basic pair of Logitech computer speakers and is quite acceptable until I can afford a high quality set of monitors or relocate my piano closer to my high quality Yamaha receiver.

I hope this info helps a bit.

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,

L. Paul
