Chosen Solution

All my life I sighed, after the piano I left behind, when we had to change our residence. At the age of 60, I gave myself a present: a Casio piano PX160. I was very happy when I bought it. Exactly one month after the warranty expired, it broke. From the official Service they told me that it is an old model and they can no longer find parts. When I bought it, the sellers told me it was the last model. Who should I believe? The symptom is very strange, I haven’t found anything similar on the net. A note sings by itself, without touching the key. After singing alone, the key becomes non-functional (it no longer makes any sound). The service changed the 3 boards with contacts under the keys. It cost me a quarter of the piano`s price. It lasted half a year and broke down again: the same symptom. And after another month, the key didn’t work at all. That note is dead. Maybe for many people $500 is not a big amount. For me it is huge. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance… P.S. I cleaned the contacts under the key. The simptom persisted.

Hi I’m not too familiar with casio keyboards but I have worked on Roland’s and a couple other brands and here’s what I usually find works: When you say you cleaned the contacts that usually work but only if it has gold plated contacts If they are black that means that they are carbon contacts and to help them work you need to clean them then get a pencil and draw some carbon dust back onto it to help it become more responsive If that doesn’t work I would start looking towards the main board and have a look for anything off looking (for example burned or blown components or corrosion) as it could be a dodgy or faulty component on the board that may need replacing or you could just replace the whole board and sell the old one for parts If the above doesn’t work please let me know and we can further look into your issue Hopefully this helps Any questions please ask Thanks:-)

I will do that again. The man from service told me that he find a short circuit in the cable and he changed the cable. I am not so shure about that.
