Unfortunately the adapter jacks are a bit of a weak point on many keyboards but it is quite seldom the jack socket itself that is at fault.
Often the sockets are soldered directly on to the printed circuit board and are prone to either one of the soldered legs breaking, or even the circuit board itself cracking around the jack socket. 
Whilst it is generally possible, with care, to resolder a broken leg on the socket if the actual circuit board has cracked the whole board will have to be replaced.
If the actual jack socket itself is damaged it should be possible to snip through the legs and remove it before soldering a new one on to the stumps of the old legs. this is likely to prove easier than trying to solder directly onto the circuit board, unless this is something that you are experienced at doing.

Apparently you can purchase a full service manual for the Casio WK-1200 here for a modest price but I have not used this source myself so cannot vouch for how good it might be.http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/2084335-repair-manual-casio-wk-1200-electronic-keyboard

I replaced sustain pedal jack...now sustain is on ALL the time, even with pedal unplugged

When you replaced it, you either have the wrong jack, wired it wrong or it is shorted out where you connected it. Recheck the connections.

Correct adapter for casio wk 500

Casio AD-12 for my country with 240V

You may use any 12V 1A AC Adaptor that has the same DC jack provided the center is NEGATIVE. Most common generic AC Adaptors are Centre POSITIVE.
So cut DC end of the wire and solder them in reverse and insulate with tape and it will work.

Hi i have a Casio WK 1200 which has midi in and out and also one assignable jack can i use it for microphone for karaoke singing.

I think the assignable jack is for pedal assignable - Sustain, Soft, Sostenuto or Rhythm Start/Stop ONLY

No, this model does not support Mic input for karaoke singing.

I have a Casio CTK 551 Keyboard, when the AC adaptor is connected and power is turned on, the Keyboard lights up for a few seconds then turns off. I noticed no red light lights up when the AC adaptor is...

The adapter has a problem... likely a poor connection of input power that briefly contacts building up some voltage that is then stored in the capacitors in the adapter which then discharge quicklly when you turn on the Casio. The adapters with FIXED blades OFTEN have problems contacting the connections in wall receptacles and extension cords. You may need to bend the blades slightly or use a better receptacle like connector. IF your adapter has a three wire cord from it to the wall receptacle, those SOMETIMES don't seat well...

How do you replace the adaptor jack on a Casio WK-1200? is it easy ?

It is easy if you are electronically adept. It invilves opening the unit and soldering, however, finding the exact tyoe of jack to fit may be a problem.

I have a casio wk-200 piano. I bought headphones

The keyboard has a mic jack that is the same size as the headphones. You probably put the headphone plug into the wrong jack is all.
