Looks like another victim of lead-free solder in the power handling areas.
Reason for posting - idle curiosity. I'm not going to unnecessarily delve into the keyboard section to find out. I was surprised to see just an 8 way ribbon cable going to an 88 key, 7+ octave keyboard. I assume there is active multiplexing hidden in there , but would there be "touchy-feely" action monitoring as well.? -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

I assume you'll find a keyboard processor and 2 contact bars to measure the time/velocity of each key, possibly divides into 8- or 12-key groups. Udo |

Udo All I can see is the counterbalance rods and leaf springs per key, including shining a torch down the length of the rear of the key bank. I suppose the bank of counterweights (hence weight of that whole section) compared to return springs means that touch force can be more evenly inferred from timing intervals per key press. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |

Play a note too pianisimo and it fails to register at all, taking say 3 seconds or so from first finger touch to bottoming. I assume that is normal. -- Diverse Devices, Southampton, England electronic hints and repair briefs , schematics/manuals list on http://home.graffiti.net/diverse:graffiti.net/ |
