I appreciate it!

Thank you for the kind words! I would personally replace it all together, because it would be hard to diagnose the issue you are having just by your observations. It could be that moisture or water from spraying or adding oil is causing the motor to give or give off a burn smell. A change I have applied in using these clippers is to keep try to keep them running when cutting my hair. I realized that turning them off and on all the time really wears them out. I can't comment on effectiveness on this but so far the new motor has been running like a champ till this day.

Your screen only shows cubes? I'm not sure what that looks like.. but hopefully you didn't get any type of liquid in-between your connections and try to power on right a way.. that is the only thing I can think of. If you did, disconnect connections promptly, make sure they are thoroughly dry (using a hair dryer for some minutes) then try again.

No problem! Glad it helped. It took me a couple tries to figure out why it wasn't coming out lol.

@@mervsz3347knowing Honda, I have a feeling it’s not going to work and I’m going to have to modify the existing harness lol. They really made the sport no frills it’s an LX with a leather steering wheel and nicer rims lol. I still love it but the cost cutting annoys me sometimes

Yep! Unfortunately it isn't the best midi keyboard money can buy. At least there's a solution for the fix. Inconvenient yes, but a solution none the less.

I did. www.civic11forum.com/threads/2023-honda-civic-sport-hatchback-weak-daily-driver-mods.5099/#post-50192 If you go to my thread you'll see it in the 10th comment.

I'm fixing one at the moment. I just used a toothbrush and some dish soap in a stoppered sink. Should clean most everything off unless you've spilled something weird on it. Just make sure to elt it dry

Google always has the answer to your question! Except anything medical, you'll want to see a doctor for that :) Good luck on the deep clean and fix.

@@mervsz3347 😅 lol

I don't, I bought the kit from mikstoreph.com.

If I am being honest, the mpk249 in general isn't the greatest midi keyboard to begin with.. The thing is if it was a great keyboard this video wouldn't be needed. It's sad that it struggles to work properly due to room humidity or dust. In any case, since the keyboard is within your ownership, it wouldn't harm you to clean it once in a while if you run into faulty keys. Good luck with your music!

The black dots on the rubber contact points as well as the circuit board gold sections. Test the board before you put it all together to save you time.

@@mervsz3347 thank. I found it

You can clean whatever is causing the issue, but if you open your keyboard you might as well clean it all. Good luck!

You don't have to take the keys themselves off. You can just unscrew the circuit board to access the rubber key contacts underneath.

Hey, happy to help/inform!

You may want to try and google it. I do not have a solid source for spare parts or replacements.

Glad it can give you some help! The grease is very optional but you can use anything really. The silicon grease i'm using was left over from a car project. Honda Genuine 08798-9013 Silicone Grease.

I bought them in 2019 so I had them for about a year or so. I only cut my own hair so they gave up between that time of casual hair cuts. One day they just didn't turn on.

Thanks. Great video.

Check the description. good luck.

I'm glad it worked out for you and saved you a bit of cash. Happy playing!

Good to know it works for super loud notes as well

It could be the case, but every keyboard is different and so it would be hard for me to say. If the key is fully dead it wouldn't hurt to take it apart and clean it. Good luck!

Hello, this keyboard internals were all kept in original state. In other words, I did not buy anything for this fix. Thanks.

Either you muster up the courage to open it up and clean it yourself or use it with the crashing sounds. There is no in-between my friend! I also cannot help you, do this on your own or find a friend to assist. Good luck!

You can try google. Here is a link I found. Hoppe this helps! www.mpcstuff.com/akai-mpk-key-contacts-under-key-rubber-sensor/

I know that feeling man! I thought I had to buy a new machine but thought otherwise and dove right into it. Glad you're up and running again, happy hair cutting!

It's hefty, but the phone XR itself is pretty heavy. Built solid and still holding up till this day!

Hey, glad it worked out for you and you were able to fix your clippers. Cheers!

It's a tricky screw for sure, you have to press in firmly and make sure it bites. Try to feel for it.

If you watch the video completely you will see me removing certain parts with explanations. Installing and reinstalling is just the reverse order. Good luck!

@@mervsz3347 wow. Surprised you actually responded! Thank you for taking the time. But yeah i have to kindly disagree. The video skipped a lot of details such as the removal of the two ribbons from the circuit thingie (which was not easy at all btw), the fact that the keys themselves are not actually labeled, which means if not careful, you can end up misplacing the order of the keys, and even the opening of the internals itself I know that these are relatively very obvious in hindsight but as someone who barely handles such niche types of electronics, I ended up having to be doubtful of your walkthrough and spending bit more time and effort to look for external sources to make sure what I'm doing won't mess up the keyboard Still, I really appreciate the video and of course your feedback. Kudos!

@@mervsz3347 totally not. You skipped important parts of the reassembly and disassembly.

Really? You want a tutorial on how to unscrew? how about walking? you want us to teach you how to walk as well? You seem stupd enough to know those simple things.

Unfortunately this is the process for an mpk249. I do not have experience with an mpk88, sorry.

Yes! That kind of rubber finish feels good on the fingers when it's new. But becomes sticky and awful after some time. I don't undestand why audio gear companies use it everywhere! C'mon. Get rid of it using isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.

@@leonardod.8050 oh, I thought I was the only one and that this happened because of me cleaning the wheels to often! :) You’re right, it’s the same thing with my Focusrite Scarlet 1st gen audio interface - some of the encoders are sticky. This type of plastic should be named and banned! :)

Yeah, the contact points are very bad on this keyboard. If you already cleaned them you have to firmly press down for the contact points to read properly. Assuming you cleaned them properly and are just starting to reuse the keys. Honestly staying away from Akai keyboards due to these reoccurring issues when not in use.

@@mervsz3347 gotta.be honest im a little weary of deconstructing it after just getting it and not knowing how to use it. most likely will just deal with it and if it gets too annoying, I'll just have to get a new keyboard

@@keef_cheefr3110 It's a good keyboard, in theory. It just has issues with keeping contact points on certain keys. I wouldn't give up on it if it's just one key. You can take it apart and clean that key, if it doesn't work get a new one if need be. Good luck to you sir!

Thank you sir

Common issue with these Akai keyboard. Annoying but there's a fix. Glad I could help!

Mine is the one beside it. So I’m thinking this is a common issue in their manufacturing.

Akai keyboards in general have a tendency to have sticky keys after a while. I know sellers whom have tried to sell these keyboard with 7 keys not working. It can more than likely be the case with your keyboard but I cannot confirm because it is different from case to case. I say if it bugs you enough to try and clean that specific key. There is no harm in trying but please but someone handy when attempting this process.

A2Dsz thanks. In your case the key was producing a weaker sound, whereas in my case it produces the maximum of 127. And also sometimes, minimal velocity of 1. It’s strange that it produces such values, so intuitive if that is a mechanical failure of sticky keys. Interestingly, a lot of people is having the same issue. I’m wondering why Akai doesn’t simply reply them to open their units and clean the contacts.. Anyway, if this keeps bugging me, I’ll open up the unit, and your video was highy instructive and encouraging. Thank you.

@@dankokozar Agreed! Akai keyboard do have strange issues when it comes to their keys and velocity. I wish they did some upgrading on the contact points. Either way, it wouldn't hurt to dive in and give them a clean. Hope it works out for you and i'm glad you found the video helpful!

The fix is to order the new 200 USD keybed from AKAI supplier. I still didn’t do it, and probably I wont, but I’ll instead invest into another brand.

@@dankokozar so cleaning didn't help in this regard?
