For the entire video, I had my fingers crossed hoping you wouldn't drop a screw and that's exactly what happened. I couldn't help but laugh out loud because it happens to me just about every single time I perform a tedious task like disassembling one of my boards. Great video!!
According to Korg's repair document on this, you're supposed to do the following after the contact strips have been replaced. Set the “Select RH3 Type” parameter in the diagnostic program 1. Turn the Kronos on. 2. Check that the update has been installed correctly. Confirm that the correct System Version is shown on the startup screen, or under the Options Info page in the Global mode. 3. Start the diagnostic program by pressing and holding the following front panel buttons.: [ENTER] [2] [MIXER KNOBS] [RESET CONTROLS] 4. The diagnostic program will start on the “Fan Control” page. 5. Press the Value Inc [^] button six times to select the “Key & After T” page. 6. Press the [ENTER] Button. 7. Press the [FF>>] Button. 8. A “Not Completed” message will display on the LCD. Touch anywhere on the LCD to clear the message. 9. Touch the KDP1 box on the LCD. The box will turn green when it is selected. 10. Press the [ENTER] button. 11. The screen will display “Now writing to internal memory…” for a few seconds, after which it will switch to the Aftertouch page. DO NOT touch the Keybed. 12. Turn the Kronos off. The Kronos is now set to “KDP1” mode
Hello! How do you think , is there a probability of "hammers" or other key-parts to become damaged(worn out) after several years of use or it just rubber-strips that often need replacing ? I'm thinking of bying second-hand Kronos-2 but afraid to be left with nothing if something happens with those weighted keys... I have old simple korgs - IS40 and N5EX, and just fixed rubbers in n5ex recently, but thinking of Kronos is making me nervous )
Hello sir.. in my Kronos 2 .... key C4 is having some issue... I have to apply more force than other key key to play the key C4... What would be the problem??? It's only happening only with SGX2 engine with other engine is fine..
You are very welcome. For a complete replacement of the 88 key rubber strip you need 7 of Korg 500422008889 (12 key) and 1 Korg 500422008890 (4 key). I got mine from Reverb, but they are currently out of stock, so Google the part numbers for your preferred dealer where they are in stock. They should be around $5 each so you are looking at around $40 for the whole thing.
Part number for the new parts are: Korg 500422008889 and Korg 500422008890. For an 88 key you need 7 of Korg 500422008889 and 1 of Korg 500422008890. I bought mine on Reverb, but they seem to be out of stock, but it looks like there are sources if you just google for it.
@@brucewinterstine9582 Hmm, yeah they do seem to be out of stock all over. Syntaur seems to have something for a premium price, but I can’t say if it’s the same part number. Maybe call them?
It turns out that Syntaur also has them on back order so I cancelled my order. I contacted Korg and they confirm the part is ordered but they cant provide a delivery time.

@@TjimmyChonga I just ordered them from Syntaur, for a premium price though. Still no word from Korg/PartsIsParts on when they will be back in stock.
It turns out that Syntaur also has them on back order so I cancelled my order. I contacted Korg and they confirm the part is ordered but they cant provide a delivery time.
move away from the notes and come back it will come back
