I have had a Yamaha P95 for about 6 months and it has recently developed a very strange fault. When I play the G below middle C with any volume and hold it, the note will sound, but will often be accompanied by a sound initially like water coming to the boil followed by an echoing higher frequency ping and click. This stops when I release the note. Whilst strongest on the G it will ocassionally also happen when I play F# or F, the frequency of the ping is correspondingly lower on these keys.
Initially I thought this was a fault with the keys, but it only seems to happen when the piano is switched to the grand piano voice so I don't know if it's to do with the way the samples are layered for that voice? When I listen through headphones I notice that the this is only happening on one channel. Has any one come across a problem like this before?
Thanks for the suggestions. Gave the factory reset a try, but no joy alas. Will try and find a compatible power supply to test, otherwise I fear it's time to hunt out the receipt and get on to Yamaha.Thanks for the suggestions. Gave the factory reset a try, but no joy alas.

I would suggest that it could be the connection between the 3 boards (230d) on picture below. If one of these pins gets bent it would stop all notes the same from working, It could also be the rubber contacts but normally this would only affect one single note.Whilst you have the boards off look for any sign of corrosion if there is any battery acid damage for example replace the board as this could also be the cause.
It could also be a fault on the main motherboard but this would be more unlikely in my experience.
There is dust in the sliding mechanism, which can be cleaned with a good electronic cleaner, which does not evaporate when drying. If that does not work, replace the volume potentiometer, the `part behind the knob.
this is a electronic problem. there must be a capacitor/s in the output section that's swollen and will keep giving the same problem unless its replaced.
"A strange noise" does NOT give us much to go on...
Please note that relatively low volume digitizing noise often exists from teh digital effects processors... it should be well below the normal playing volume.
I am a gitarist myself too and firstly let me tell you u have purchased an excellent guitar to begin with!! Now about the Neck\blues pickup.....If you say there is little sound this can be because of:- 1)Faulty bridge adjustment 2)There can be a problem also because of the neck of the guitar being a bit bent in or around the place where u have the pick-ups though the chances of that are rare.
If there is no sound then please contact your dealer to change the piece.... Have a great time playing
Hoping this helped.Any help regarding the above steps , feel free to ask them. See ya.
If you can't clean the pots or if you just want to try replacing them, try using
500k pots again, in case one or both of the pots is worn or dirty or
defective. If that doesn't work, and cleaning or replacing the
switches doesn't work, then the problem is probably elsewhere. You could put a 500k resistor (with a sufficiently-high power rating of at least half the power rating (Watts) of the pot) in parallel with the pot, or, to cover all bases, put a 500k resistor from each of the two outer lugs of the pot to the middle lug. That should change it into the equivalent of a 250k pot. You could even just temporarily clip the resistors on, with alligator-clip leads, if you're very careful, just to test it.
