  1. Thanks Scott. I just re-initialized the keyboard using the procedure given on Page E-101 of the manual. As of now, the keyboard is running for about 35 minutes (on batteries) and no shut off ! I googled into an entry of WK-3000 to find out that re-initialization actually solved some problems for someone else. To add to my misery, this section of re-initializing the keyboard isn't even indexed on this keyboards manual ! Its 2.55 AM now and I will catch some sleep before work tomorrow. I will test it out on AC power and report back. P.S. Thanks for the address above. They are an electronics chain here (Jumbo Electronics) and lack technical capabilities to fix things. I've had bad experiences.
  2. OK Folks, here is a little update. Unfortunately much to my horror, the problem seems to be with the keyboard. I tried running it on the recommended batteries (Eveready Super Heavy Duty) and the jitters are even more frequent (2-3 minutes). Scott - Thank you for the heads up there. I honestly didn't think such a big keyboard can run on batteries too. JokeyMan - AutoPower is off and the keyboard turns itself off even when playing : which should not be the case with AutoPower. But hey, thanks to you I learnt a feature Vorbis - Thank you for the pointer, but the battery compartment is empty. Finding someone to actually fix this thing here (in Dubai) will be a wild goose chase. Sigh !
  3. Hello All, Sam here from Dubai (UAE). I recently bought a Casio WK-6500 (on a really good price : 130 CAD) from a street shop (not any big store) in Canada and took it down here. Its probably not brand new, but looks very new and runs well - however, only for about 6/7 minutes and then powers off itself. When we turn it back on, it again runs fine only for about the same time and then powers off again. Naturally, I am scared to keep it running this way that I might be risking a burn off. It ran for the first two three days long enough perfectly well, making me happy about the deal. But for the last 2/3 days, this problem has started to worry me. I've tried plugging its power supply in different wall sockets, tried changing the 3-plug adapter but haven't yet tried replacing the power adapter itself, partly because this specific purpose-built (presumingly factory-supplied) adapter may not even be available here in Dubai. My son is very excited to have this keyboard but is unhappy for its frequent jitters. Has anybody else faced this problem? Any pointers on how to start troubleshooting this? Thank you and cheers Sam.
