You're a sinner perhaps🙄😁😂

Just throwing my cents here: The pencil fix can work fine, but if a key is dead, always clean the contact first with circuit-friendly cleaning fluid, then reassemble and give it a try. Sometimes it's a thin layer of dirt what's causing the faulty connection. Adding a coat of pencil graphite can fix the problem temporarily, but that thin coat will wear out eventually.

​@lamijerald2364 I'm gonna try buying a new contact board, which is what the rubber pads press down into. Not sure if there is a more permanent solution other than that but I'm sure you could use some other material thats more longer lasting but i just have no idea. Maybe $50 buy a new contact board compared to $2500 for a new keyboard in my case.

​@@lamijerald2364also the curcuit friendly fluid he's talking about is simply called electronics cleaner. Wd 40 makes some that us meant to be used on sensitive computer parts like mother boards and contact boards to clean them.

Thank you so much Man. You saved my piano of 8 years.

DUDE YOU ROCK - pencilled in all the contacts on my old boss dr 5 and now its barly a finger touch to change it unlike before when u you had to press so hard - thank you so much from NZ

This really worked!!! At first it didn’t but after wiping the excess pencil off the sensor it works

Thank you very much! It worked on my Korg SP-170DX which was dead for 2 years, what I did was scrape a lot of the lead off the pencil and emboss the contacts with it

Worked like magic … this tutorial is gold

Fixed my Yamaha mm6 today , The 3rd. D key had poor contact , Took everything apart use the Pencil technique on the contract . Put it all back together !!!! Works beautifully ! Thanks !!!

Thank you sooo much! I had an old Casio 671 keyboard, not in use fo rmany years. The keys were working fine, but the buttons, that you need to use to select t he sounds or rhythms were not reacting, when pushing them. Also the on/off button did not work most of the time. After cleaning the "contacts" with alcohol and additionally applying some pencil on them it works now like it is a new keyboard!!! Can't thank you enough :) Now my kids can use my old keyboard to practise music

Thank you So much Michele ..It worked for me like a miracle .. an almost dead key Worked in seconds God Bless You

This video was so much more helpful than anything else I've found on the internet. Thank you!

After searching the internet for a couple days trying to fix dead keys. Cleaning didn’t work and I noticed the missing connection. I just happened to come across this video. Thinking to myself, this is a load of crap since you never showed the keys not working in the beginning. Decided to give it a try anyways, and it freaking worked. Thanks 😃

This technique is works 75%, I just tried it I want to give one my personal experience if ure key is not working after the pencil use then use erase o same key it will 100% works. Thanku🙂

Thanks so much for this, in a few minutes my dead keys are working perfectly. Am subscribed and have shared to all keyboardists i know. God bless you

I can't thank you enough man. Can't believe the fix was that simple! Liked saved and subscribed!

Worked awesome, Thanks. Fixed all but one of the middle keys, and the 6 on the end. Thinking the last 6 have a blown resistor.

You are genius. Thank you. It worked perfectly for my Yamaha psr 79

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I can't believe it worked!

This is so amazing thank the Lord for you this really works!!!

First of all I would like to say thank you! I´ve got the same problem with my sk-560 54 key keyboard , I will try to do that!! Thanks a lot :)

I've done so many times for decades it's not permanent but sometime last for about a year. Worth some tries as it pose no harm..

this is indeed LEGIT! thank you so much for this vid! you got a new sub 👌

Thanks for sharing! It worked on my keyboard!

Some more tips. So on my keyboard, 3 keys went dead. Cleaning the landing pads and swapping the rubber membrane did not cure the problem. Looking at the circuit board, I noted that keys are wired in groups. Although the three keys were not next to each other, they were in fact part of a group. So I traced the fault to a break in the PCB track. I fixed this with a bit of soldering and the dead keys are now alive! However, all three now play louder than any others. This cannot be due to their membranes, as it is not common to all three keys. So I have more work to do!

Worked on my Alesis V49. Thank you X1million

OMG I thought it wouldn't work but it does !! Thank you 😊

I would recommend simply rubbing the contacts with a cotton swab moistened with distilled water to minimize residue (I used the water condensed under the lid of an electric kettle). This fixed 2 non-working keys, and I did the whole keyboard to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Thanks for saving my Yamaha Keyboard. I tried taking it apart cleaning it everything it just kept getting worse. I was thinking it was going to the garbage can but then I found this video tried it and it fixed all of my dead keys. Plays 100% now thank you so much again. Also I dropped a cup of coffee on my keyboard that's what screwed it up and it still work

man, you've just save me a lot of money... thank you so much.

I did this as well. The problem is its easy to short out the contacts with graphite "haze" on the non-contact portions. My fix was to go over it after with a Qi-tip and a lighted magnifier to find the shorts. Worked great! NOW my issue is that one Bb ALSO plays the # above it every time! GRRRRR

Thanks for the instruction

I was so hesitant to try this... but after hours of cleaning and tinkering with the sensors I finally tried this AND IT WORKED!!!! THANK YOU! I did this on my Korg Kross 88-key Workstation to fix two keys that were stuck at full volume. Thank you again.

I've seen a few videos like this, but it works better if you clean the contacts on the PCB board, and then apply graphite to the carbon contact in the the rubber strip

thanks a lot, your very good demonstration helped so good , an old keyboard rRoland KR-75 works again , John in France

I wanted to give an update that it has been two months of heavy playing and my keyboard is still working perfectly after using the Pencil Trick. After spilling some coffee I had a dead key and the more I tried to clean it more the problem spread until I had about 10 dead keys

wow, it worked, thanks

Worked for me too! Thanks. (tho' putting back a Korg M50-88 together was a pain)

Thanks. This really works.👍Almost hslf of my keybord keys are not working previously. Now only two keys r not working well. I think its because of the rubber beneath the keys need to be renewed. Btw thanks a lot.

Blessing I really thank u for ur video it really help me thanks again God bless u

I fixed the same issue with my CTK 3000. Here is the quick fix, you need: 1. Interest in technology (to open the casio) 2. Simple Pensil Eraser. I rubbed the same surface area with rubber and the rubber sucked the entire black dust and now it is working just like before 💯

I think there is a special graphite glue pen you can buy for this...i forget what they are called. Great video.

thanks for the video, you're using 2B pencil right ?

Does it matter if the pencil is not charcoal? I mean my pencil is made from graphite.

I am trying your idea yes it gives success

Awesome😁👍It worked perfectly with my old Yamaha S80RDS remote control (Home Cinema)! 👍👍👍Saved me at least £60 - yes! that's the price on ebay for used one 👎How long this method last for??? Anyone knows?

Hi, May be you can help me out here! My daughter’s digital piano (Yamaha, a year old) produces a continuous knocking sound (toc toc toc...) when the keys A D E are press simultaneously throughput the key board from one octave to the other. Is that a faulty computer board or do you have a suggestion why it’s doing that or the keyboard connection needs to be cleaned?

Gracias bro

Any advice if the carbon printed on the contacts get damaged? Do you have any solution for this?

thank you, i will try this

It worked ! OMG

I really works. I'm also doing this

Have to try that now I did the alcohol and Q tip thing.... Helped a bit but still have some dead keys...

yes its working but not a permanent solution and also its effect on key touch sensivity .. some keys touch sense are not working properly

Oh mahn, I thought this would be a joke, but I was wrong it actually worked.

yo look competent ,i wonder if you can help me out, i bought a 76 key yamaha dgx200 when it arrived it had 2 broken black and 1 white keys i looked easy enough ,changed them myself, but when tried to play only about half the keys would play random ones over the whole keyboard , any ideas please

Fixed 5 dead keys thank you

This works because graphite (a conductor) helps the key contact with the sensor (I hope I'm correct)

does this works on sliders(like volume or kind of efects level controlers that use sliders instead of buttons)?

Tq u got my piano

attempted this,but sadly my keyboard just got some extras dead keys.Before,one key wasn’t playing,but then,some 4 more started not playing.Now I can see the input of some,but they dont release and doesn’t make sounds

I had that problem. Mine was because the board was corroded from soda. Clean between the solder traces with alcohol and a cotton swab, then scratch the junk out from between connecting solder points with a file or your nail. I even washed it in the sink with dish soap and dried it before putting it back in.
