George Thomas the issue is the mixed battery types, whichever battery was weaker is guaranteed to lose the corrosion battle, if the duracell wasn't newer than the corroded battery it would be corroded instead
Battery corrosion happens when you have a current and continue to draw life from the battery after it is dead. The zinc outer shell of the battery is eaten by the contents. Don't just use the same type, *TEST EACH ONE* every time you replace all the batteries. 1.5V, 1.5V, 1.5V, 1.3V, don't use the odd one!
Old comment but I did manage to accidentally drop the case reset button for my European model 1 Saturn in the sink. Thankfully I was able to get the button out using a long wood stick and chewing gum.
+Larry Bundy Jr Your comment prompted me to check my own Lynx 2, which I had no idea if the batteries were still in it or not, since it had been so long since I last used it Of the six Duracell AA's inside, only one showed any signs of leakage, and it was confined to the metallic portions of the end caps. All the other cells were pristine. The "freshness date" on them? March 2009. And they still had enough charge to boot up the device and play a round of Pinball Jam without keeling over. They had to be almost new the last time I played this particular unit, which could have been in excess of ten years ago.
Making use of the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type
Argantonis True, it's just that I have lots electronic devices that I sometimes forget to take the batteries out. One time I left batteries in a remote that sat in there for the past 8 years and it wasn't damaged from corrosion since they were Duracell batteries. Sadly that's not the same story for my radio that had cheap Chinese batteries that were sitting inside for 1.5 years.
You are right! even yamaha is now skimming on the samples, i tested a 81key keyboard at a pawn shop and the grand piano was a joke it sounded like a cheap off brand Chinese keyboard.
I could not have more respect for you. As a synth/drum machine/sampler/workstation musician who started ou playing old Casios at 5 years old your channel brings me so much joy.

@@sharko_tv_be 20x19x18 is already so much, you meant +, not x And also, my calculation is simpler, two-instrument combination is 20x19 divided by 2, because 1+2 is the same as 2+1, and add the solo 20 to that.
I've played a lot on that exact model. The purchase year was 1990 or possibly 1991, so I would agree with the 1989 guess. It was WAY cooler than my own Casios (PT-20 and MT-65) back then. Today, it is the other way around...

Whether or not you like this keyboard, David, I very much appreciate people like you that are willing to put so much energy into restoring stuff like this. Most people would have taken one look at that thing an thrown it away.
It's not that bad if you don't rub your eyes or touch your mouth, and wash your hands relatively quickly afterward, most of it is dry corrosion and will not immediately eat through your hands.
Also Duracell is prone to leakages. I had a battery leakage in my Nintendo Game Boy, and surprisingly it survived from the leakage. Now I use energizer batteries in my Game Boy.
It is unbelievable to see your home and neighbors without a fence. Here in Brazil it is impossible! We are living in our "house arrest".

@ 8-Bit Keys I think the term you're looking for is sample based keyboard. There's a difference between sampling keyboards and sample based keyboards. Sampling keyboards such as the Casio SK-1 and the Yamaha VSS-30 allow you to record arbitrary samples and play them back via the keyboard keys, whereas sample based keyboards store samples of acoustic instruments in memory,, such as a piano, a flute, or a violin for instance. Not all sampling keyboards are necessarily sample based. The Yamaha VSS-30 is based on FM synthesis. Anyway, with sample based keyboards and synths, some samples are produced by combining wave forms and""/or samples to best represent the instrument its tamber is supposed to resemble. The Vtech Little Smart Super Soundworks is at its heart a sample based synthesizer and you can find an article about it online.

Well. Taking a look at your other videos seems that you are above average in this one, wich is great (around 20k views or so). I did a Google Trends search for "battery leakage" and is a term that is increasing in searches since 2012. Adding something more descriptive to what you actually did in the video like "repair" or "cleansing" had not enough volume to show a trend. With that said, you may not get much volume from searched terms but you would have more curious guys to click if you also add "repaired" or "like new" somewhere in the title. I assume that you used the tags section to describe your video. Try adding: diy, electronics repair, battery leakage cleansing, how to and other related terms. If you sign this keyboard, after all the work you put on it, and you certify is the one from this video, it would be interesting to be acquired by someone like me. Even if it is not the best Casio Keyboard ever, you having it repaired is awesome.

A lot of people think battery reconditioning is hard however I think I know it's incredibly simple. I have done it hundreds of time before, in fact it's what I do for a living [Check Details Here==> t.co/uUSuy6Yk5g ]. Anybody can recondition batteries, you just need to know the techniques.?
3:03 Imagine walking around the block and seeing this 8-bit-looking guy pouring vinegar all over this mysterious metal plate and scrubbing it, all while recording it.
Hello, my brother and I are your followers in the Dominican Republic, my brother is an electronic engineer and I am an engineer in software design, I am 52 years old, I started with 8 bits in my color computer. Here in Santo Domingo, I often work with old equipment and as things are more expensive here, nothing that works is discarded. One tip to complete your process of eliminating corrosion with vinegar, when you remove the pieces from the vinegar, always pass them through a solution of sodium bicarbonate to stop the acid effect of the vinegar, that will prevent the vinegar from continuing to deter the pieces. Greetings from the Caribbean ...
it could be you never know with duracell they are sneaky like that but seriously this is why the duracell battery's are higher build quality over the cheap no name brands
I had a casio tone bank ct670. I am a teacher and that keyboard is used by the music teacher ir my school. Works perfectly . love to see that model in your channel.
1:13 when you eat a pizza roll but its too hut but you dont wanna spit it back onto the plate so you have to do the open mouth ventilation thing while you're breathing fucking fire:
David undoubtedly knew the relative condition of the keyboard before purchasing it: it'd be near-impossible not to notice all of the corrosion on the bottom and not know something was up. But $12 is a great deal for a good video!
I think I used to have that same keyboard when I was a kid. The sounds bring back some memories. We don’t have it anymore because it was time to upgrade after a while.
CVS Pharmacy batteries are horrible. Put them in 3 Mag Light Flashlights and all 3 were ruined. Batteries wouldn't come out of the flashlight so they said they had no way of knowing it was their product.
That MN234000CSH is NOT a microprocessor, but a mask-programmed ROM in a DIP-40 package. It's model number is MN234000 and the 'CSH' might mean 'CaSio' something, since it is programmed specifically for the Casio keyboard.
Since I'm fixing electronics for my family and other people I think I'm gonna show the part of this video with the battery corrosion to the "special" ones who did bring me devices which had... corroded contacts from leaking batteries to convince them to REMOVE THOSE DAMN BATTERIES ! when not using the device for a long period of time. Thank you for this video. The only "issue" is that I'm french (as the people I sometimes get to work for of course) and few of them actually read english. But I think the images may do their effect though ! ;)
WOW! What a nightmare corrosion! I really think that this restoration was one of the hardest works that you ever done. The previous owner really screwed up when put that generic battery instead of another Duracell battery.
Batteries have leaked inside of my grandfather's keyboard, and it makes me sad because it's the only thing I have from him... (also it brings back memories from when I was little, I remember I was around 4-6 years old, when he told me he would give it to me when I get older, but he didn't get to see me growing up...)
The rust doesn't look like it was caused by the battery.... I think the thing has been sitting in water. Battery corrosion creates a white or bluish-green powder, and if you look at the metal bottom it has a a big rust blob in one spot. I think the rust started from the underside of the keyboard and worked it's way in - the most affected area being the inside of the metal cover where water would have sat after seeping in the device. I've seen this in old computers that have been sitting in water puddles - there's a little corrosion on the underside of the case, and a butt-load of rust on the inside.
@kaneCVR you are thinking of your car battery that turns the blueish-green color. Your car battery is a lead-acid based battery. The battery in question is most likely carbon-zinc based which tends to corrode with a color like above. I think if it had been sitting in water long enough to corrode this much there would be other visible damage. Just my two cents.
It has 210 voices in that 20 choose 2 (one of the twenty sounds combined with another such that the order of selection does not matter) plus the other additional twenty sounds gives 210 possible "sounds."
Why are so many RUclips videos not just yours but including from others suddenly have closed captions? It's unlikely a google auto speech recognition because it's too perfect including the upscale, comma, period, etc. Did you manually typed in the closed captions?
People are allowed to add custom captions for videos as long as the uploader approves them. If you look at the bottom of the description you can see who did it. Not necessarily, for this video, but others.
I’ve had worse. I inherited a old and somewhat damaged Polaroid for me to restore. The original 9v custom battery was still in it and when i opened the door I was greeted with a gummy like liquid that had the viscosity of cold molasses. After about 5 weeks of very careful cleaning and disassembly I restored the camera and I’ve taken 8 pictures with it. Works perfect now!
Nope. I'm dealing with leaged Duracells in my MagLite 4D. The corrosion looks just different as it is aluminum and not steel like on the back of the keyboard here.
zUltra actually no its u that is blind ass that rust in Duracell battery is probably the rust leftover from the Corroded battery go ahead look closer and rethink before shit posting lol
@@RizLazey I've looked closer than you and i came up with this: 1. Get some grammar lessons 2. I've had a ton of Duracell batteries and they all leaked. There is no alkaline battery in existence that doesn't leak. 3. Why are there 2 Duracell batteries when he said that the Duracell didn't leak? And why was the old corroded one replaced with a new one? 4. You can clearly see some yellow stuff on the positive terminal of the battery. Meaning it leaked. -5. Why is the ground cable corroded?- After closer inspection, it wasn't damaged by leaking batteries. If it were to be that way, than the spring should've been corroded too. ----------------------------------------------------- Actual moral of the story: He was either paid by Duracell, or he is a clear sellout.
I absolutely enjoyed the short song you made with it. It almost belongs in an episode of MacGyver or in a video game while receiving instructions for your critical mission.
Glad to see someone on RUclips still knows how to fix stuffs instead of just microwaving them...

3 years late but w/o a multimeter there is no way to check the voltage of the battery right? I don’t have a multi meter at the moment.
So when aldi batteries leak in the pack unused... is that because theres internal resistance in the battery, essentially shorting itself out?

A lot of people think battery reconditioning is hard however I think I know it's incredibly simple. I have done it hundreds of time before, in fact it's what I do for a living [Check Details Here==> t.co/uUSuy6Yk5g ]. Anybody can recondition batteries, you just need to know the techniques.?

crash979797 He could've used some penetration fluid such as Liquid Wrench, Kroil or WD-40, or even acetone and automatic transmission fluid mix.
Taehun Lee the acetone and ATF would make it melt away. watch ChrisFix huh?

Oh my gosh, I've only watched the first minutes and a half and I already love your channel!
3:03 Imagine walking around the block and seeing this 8-bit-looking guy pouring vinegar all over this mysterious metal plate and scrubbing it, all while recording it.

Sounds like something my Math teacher would say...
Hello, my brother and I are your followers in the Dominican Republic, my brother is an electronic engineer and I am an engineer in software design, I am 52 years old, I started with 8 bits in my color computer. Here in Santo Domingo, I often work with old equipment and as things are more expensive here, nothing that works is discarded.
One tip to complete your process of eliminating corrosion with vinegar, when you remove the pieces from the vinegar, always pass them through a solution of sodium bicarbonate to stop the acid effect of the vinegar, that will prevent the vinegar from continuing to deter the pieces.

Is this some secret Duracell ad? Because it’s working
it could be you never know with duracell they are sneaky like that
but seriously this is why the duracell battery's are higher build quality over the cheap no name brands
My mom had this keyboard when I was a kid. She still has it to this day. We used to just hit the demo button and pretend we were playing.
I dont give a creps. Those sounds you made sampling sound amazing. Great jog 8 bit. You are the man. Love ya vids. BT W, been watching for years....
Why was this recommended to me? Not that I'm complaining, I enjoyed it!
6:44 hmm that sounds familiar, ah yes *soviet union anthem*
Hello fellow Soviet Unioner
It reminded me of Mario 64's "Dire dire dock"
certainly bears resemblances to the opening of the UNIONS anthem
I had a casio tone bank ct670. I am a teacher and that keyboard is used by the music teacher ir my school. Works perfectly . love to see that model in your channel.
RUclips be like : "let's recommend this to everyone even thought u never heard of this channel before ."
Now i'm subscribed in this channel :D
But I'm watch video from this channel 30 times.
I watch this channel everyday
It's good. Your meme is shit
1:13 when you eat a pizza roll but its too hut but you dont wanna spit it back onto the plate so you have to do the open mouth ventilation thing while you're breathing fucking fire:
Wow, Duracell really lives up to its name.
David undoubtedly knew the relative condition of the keyboard before purchasing it: it'd be near-impossible not to notice all of the corrosion on the bottom and not know something was up. But $12 is a great deal for a good video!
No one:

Yea but 1:30
It's 3:12 for me.
So 90s vibe from this channel ! I love it
o-O ?!?! BORING?!? THAT SOUNDED AWESOME, AND I DON'T EVEN PLAY MUSIC
Love the practice tones you used at 7:29 sounds like a good video game song!
I'm in awe of the patience you exerted on this keyboard.
"Holy cow to the power of 3" I'm dead
I'm glad you are.
Sounds like every late 70s and 80s movie ever made.
I have this same keyboard! I really love it and it was free. I will say that the little speaker it comes with makes headphones a must. Great video!
0:42 AwW mAn!
Wonder if you made a song with the sampling you did at 7:30 to 8:05 :0
do you know the title of this song?
It sounds like a nold scholl Touhou soundtrack
@@KaliKitsune25 you mean old school Touhou soundtrack
More like a scary game trailer or intro from like a half life game
I think I used to have that same keyboard when I was a kid. The sounds bring back some memories. We don’t have it anymore because it was time to upgrade after a while.
I would've worn gloves...
That's how pussies handle dangerous material!
me too!
Pfff :D i licked such batteries when i was a kid cuz didn't know what it is but shit as so bitter that i still remember the taste

I'm ok, but that giant tumor on my face is bugging me :-/

CVS Pharmacy batteries are horrible. Put them in 3 Mag Light Flashlights and all 3 were ruined. Batteries wouldn't come out of the flashlight so they said they had no way of knowing it was their product.
Are they CVS brand or are hey some other brand brought there?
That MN234000CSH is NOT a microprocessor, but a mask-programmed ROM in a DIP-40 package. It's model number is MN234000 and the 'CSH' might mean 'CaSio' something, since it is programmed specifically for the Casio keyboard.

The brass sound is just straight up what they used for the stranger things intro.
Well, I don't mean that it's 100% what was used for Stranger Things, but it sounds nearly exact.
Brady Slimepoop It sounds like the game Please, dont touch anything.
As an audio engineer and someone who makes music, I love this so damn much!
Since I'm fixing electronics for my family and other people I think I'm gonna show the part of this video with the battery corrosion to the "special" ones who did bring me devices which had... corroded contacts from leaking batteries to convince them to REMOVE THOSE DAMN BATTERIES ! when not using the device for a long period of time. Thank you for this video.
The only "issue" is that I'm french (as the people I sometimes get to work for of course) and few of them actually read english.
But I think the images may do their effect though ! ;)
Lol all the things he played sound straight outa runescape
WOW! What a nightmare corrosion! I really think that this restoration was one of the hardest works that you ever done. The previous owner really screwed up when put that generic battery instead of another Duracell battery.
6:34 sounds like Vsauce
Yes
Or does it?
7:29 your actually really damn good at that
I have watched this video well over a dozen times just for that reaction to the corrosion on the bottom of the keyboard.
Batteries have leaked inside of my grandfather's keyboard, and it makes me sad because it's the only thing I have from him... (also it brings back memories from when I was little, I remember I was around 4-6 years old, when he told me he would give it to me when I get older, but he didn't get to see me growing up...)
It's a Casio HT-3000 btw
Thats sad :(
Thats really sad :(
Try to clean it up the corrosion
I don't have the tools to do it. No solderer, no tools, no whatever he used to clean it (I don't remember the video very well).
Does baking soda works? Or something like that
The rust doesn't look like it was caused by the battery.... I think the thing has been sitting in water. Battery corrosion creates a white or bluish-green powder, and if you look at the metal bottom it has a a big rust blob in one spot. I think the rust started from the underside of the keyboard and worked it's way in - the most affected area being the inside of the metal cover where water would have sat after seeping in the device. I've seen this in old computers that have been sitting in water puddles - there's a little corrosion on the underside of the case, and a butt-load of rust on the inside.
his piano was in water !
Ha-Ha !

King Parodije I read this with a Stewie voice.
@kaneCVR you are thinking of your car battery that turns the blueish-green color. Your car battery is a lead-acid based battery. The battery in question is most likely carbon-zinc based which tends to corrode with a color like above. I think if it had been sitting in water long enough to corrode this much there would be other visible damage. Just my two cents.
King Parodije your right, when he use wire brush on that bump yucky water comes out
kaneCVR no if it's water then how would you explain the corrosion on the plastic? Plastic can't rust....

It has 210 voices in that
20 choose 2 (one of the twenty sounds combined with another such that the order of selection does not matter) plus the other additional twenty sounds gives 210 possible "sounds."

Why are so many RUclips videos not just yours but including from others suddenly have closed captions? It's unlikely a google auto speech recognition because it's too perfect including the upscale, comma, period, etc. Did you manually typed in the closed captions?
I take the time to write them up for my videos. It's a lot of work, but it brings in more foreign language viewers.
Don't stop making subtitles for these. They are great additions! Maybe I could write some Polish subtitles in my free time.
bobskie321 someone really wants to be able to mass flag videos lol
People are allowed to add custom captions for videos as long as the uploader approves them. If you look at the bottom of the description you can see who did it. Not necessarily, for this video, but others.
RUclips also just made a way for users to make subtitles that the channel owner has to approve.
Holy crap it looks like someone bagged a Xenomorph
nice
Wowwww.🤨🤨🤨😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😴
I’ve had worse. I inherited a old and somewhat damaged Polaroid for me to restore. The original 9v custom battery was still in it and when i opened the door I was greeted with a gummy like liquid that had the viscosity of cold molasses. After about 5 weeks of very careful cleaning and disassembly I restored the camera and I’ve taken 8 pictures with it. Works perfect now!
The only thing left was a small bit of aluminum and a small bit of plastic. It had all dissolved or something
0:42 that face made me laugh so hard

Moral of the story?
Buy Duracell batteries :P
The Duracell was also corroded, blind ass.
Nope. I'm dealing with leaged Duracells in my MagLite 4D. The corrosion looks just different as it is aluminum and not steel like on the back of the keyboard here.
zUltra actually no its u that is blind ass that rust in Duracell battery is probably the rust leftover from the Corroded battery go ahead look closer and rethink before shit posting lol
@@RizLazey I've looked closer than you and i came up with this:
1. Get some grammar lessons
2. I've had a ton of Duracell batteries and they all leaked. There is no alkaline battery in existence that doesn't leak.
3. Why are there 2 Duracell batteries when he said that the Duracell didn't leak? And why was the old corroded one replaced with a new one?
4. You can clearly see some yellow stuff on the positive terminal of the battery. Meaning it leaked.
-5. Why is the ground cable corroded?- After closer inspection, it wasn't damaged by leaking batteries. If it were to be that way, than the spring should've been corroded too.
-----------------------------------------------------
Actual moral of the story:
He was either paid by Duracell, or he is a clear sellout.
@@zUltra3D "He was either paid by Duracell, or he is a clear sellout.

I absolutely enjoyed the short song you made with it. It almost belongs in an episode of MacGyver or in a video game while receiving instructions for your critical mission.
