Do you know if the key removal method works on the Yamaha S80? (24 years old, with a few keys that have just become slightly less sensitive than the others). Else I will have to remove the whole keybed frame and the whole circuit board.
No, the S80 key removal process does not work the same. I believe you have to flip the action over and remove the circuit board first and then the key spring, but I could be wrong. It has been a while since I have worked on one.
@@LambertsMusicSolutions thanks. I did take the whole keybed off and try to improve things but stopped short of removing the keys as I didn’t think that was a route to making things better.
i feel one key of xs8 a bit strange in touch..little slow..and different. i must to replace? or i check for grease? i have already buy a new but i don't know if is broken..this key that you replace is broken somewhere? or some bug that makes it not work properly? thank you
Hey, sometimes the key is broken and sometimes the key is either swollen or warped. A swollen or warped key can cause the key to rub against an adjacent key making it sluggish. You also want to check the key up and down travel to make sure the chassis hasn't shifted in a way. There is also a spring involved you might want to check as well. I hope this helps!

@@chromatic-me Gotcha! I totally understand. You probably need to put in a new key sensor strip and just give the whole keyboard a good cleaning.
