    Fixed it ! .....the earlier clavinovas actually have 4 graphite strips pre key and after cleaning and repainting them 6 times ( made my contact paint with water based polyurethane and graffiti powder ) with no results on the last try before putting it on the lawn , Out of the corner of my eye a tiny glimmer of copper speck flashed on the trace between the next 4 strips , the green material that seals the copper trace had worn off so small you really couldn't see it.... but it was enough to make contact when the the key was pressed.... paint brush and poly urethane over the worn spot..... good as new....there is no way of replacing these board yamaha stopped selling them so bringing them back to life is the only way... thank you for your help , i hope this will help other people keep these alive....

    Thanks for the video. I have a Korg X3 and followed your suggestions with 2 key differences 1) did everything with the power off and 2) cleaned the dirt off rubber surfaces with some IPA solution. No graphite pencil needed in my case. Thanks again.

    Thanks, great video!!! A simple thing to try first before disassembly is canned compression air blast with the tiny straw attached. I just tried it on one of my digi's for 3 dead keys and it worked fine. The lil straw will fit in between the keys and possibly get some air under the rubber contacts (gently ! Don't ever push if you feel any pressure at all lol. IOW, don't try to work the straw under the rubber contacts. Just work in between keys again gentle.) Blast the air for a short blast around the offending key. Don't over do it. Sometimes just a short lil blast is all you need. Reason ? The amount of pressure of air you get out of the end of that nozzle is quite high and might be enough to clear a few microscopic specs of dust.

    it's 100% worked for my korg krome. million thanks! i just cleaned the contact with dry cotton bud and use the 6B pencil to draw on the contact as shown in this video. I was doing it with the power on so i can check if it works. since most of my keys were not working well so i decided to draw on every contact. If the graphite are too much there will be short circuit with frequent repetitive sound of that key produced (rather than burning the electric board) which can be solved by using an eraser to remove the graphite and redraw the contact properly. I believe i dun need to change the rubber strip unless the underneath rubber dot were worn out.

    The problem with using a pencil to fix contact problems is after repeated hits, the graphite will smear and short out the contacts. Just clean the contacts with isopropal alcohol, and use a proper conductive liquid repair pen.

    To anyone watching this video: this is at best a temporary repair, as the lead from the pencil will wear off. What he should have done is clean the bad contact first with contact cleaner, then use conductive paint specifically for electronics and paint the contact areas again for a more long-term solution.

    I didn't have 'le Pen' so I found a soft lead contractors' pencil and now the long dead A#/Bb is sounding again. Works for me, I have a KORG SP-200. All these things, no mater what make, are a mystery looking at how to open/close the darn things, but they all have big chassis screws holding the key-bed down, and smaller screws that hold the end caps and cover plates in place. Not a lot on yt that clearly shows disassembly, so I dived in and did a Fatar STUDIO 90 which is super simple to open, and the harness is easy to unplug. On my SP-200, the harness connect's were impossible to understand how they release, so I just carefully moved the contact's board around with the harnesses connected (that was a lot of screws, huh??). The board looked clean so I just lightly rubbed the 4 contacts to the dead key, stuck my tongue out, protruding a little, maybe a quarter-inch past the lips, and scribed over the conducive surfaces a little, plugged 'er in and the whole upper board was dead, now..realized I had to compress it to the key-board by hand to make contact, and whizz-bang, I had all the keys back! The toughest one I've had to joust with is the KORG 01/w work station Pro-X, heavy as heck and hard to get apart without entering uncharted waters, Ughh! (just to replace that little battery).

    Then if it really need to paint, you must use special paint that conduct electricity. We can find it in market.

    @TecladistadoYoutubeRivaLima Год назад +2

    Covering the contact with pencil lead, is something that will only last a few days or a few hours... the most recommended thing is to apply a drop of conductive paint on the contacts, where the paint will always work fixedly there, especially on the contact rubber, it doesn't have to be on the keybed... and if the problem persists (which is difficult, the conductive paint solves it by itself) just buy a new rubber... I solved all the problems with the keys on my keyboards using conductive paint... I never had to buy any sets of rubbers again. Last tip, NEVER, NEVER, disassemble the keyboard with it connected to the power... the static can damage both the keybed and the motherboard.

    always start with a basic clean soapy distilled water FIRST, still not working then you need contact cleaner applied with cotton bud. but remember Isopropyl Alcohol is not good on rubber take care, then there is electrical conductivity spray. or carbon, or copper, silver conductivity paint or pens there also tape and a Key pad repair buttons all from amazon, but to be honest try the manufacture to sell you new rubber replacement. always best is idea but if I had to do it Conductive silver paint - Repair kit - Conductive varnish - 2 grams amazon £8.00 comes with applicator brush just need a dot little amount

    "With the Yamaha PSR-740, it can happen that after using the USB emulator for some time, the keyboard suddenly stops working. All keys become isolated, producing no sound. Other functions remain active, but all keys, both white and black, go silent. The strange thing is that if you use the MIDI interface and connect the keyboard to your PC under the control of a program like Cakewalk, for example, the keys regain their sound. However, as soon as you turn off the PC or close the program, they go silent again."

    Hi! I Have an old Roland E-70 keyboard with similar problems. A section of keys has lost their velocity, or sensitivity. I have successfylly cleaned another single key and got i working normally. But the problem with these keys (like 6-7 next to eachother) cannot be solved with cleaning. The keys respond everytime i press them, but always at maximum velocity.
    There is no visible faults, or dirt. Could the cirquitboard be broken? Maybe I'll try this graphite trick...
