  1. This is the link to the main board for sale http://www.pacparts.com/part.cfm?sku=91087181259
  2. So I was able to talk to Casio today and they referred me to an authorized Casio repairman in my city. No one seems to be able to know what is wrong with my Casio without taking a look at it. The repair person charges 67 dollars for any estimates that don't result in repair. What I'm wondering is if you guys know exactly what happens to these keyboards when they are bricked, what needs to be replaced and if an amateur can take care of it themselves. I'm worried that it might cost more than it's worth to have it fixed by a professional. I don't want to blow $67 and end up fixing it myself on top of that. So, any ideas?
  3. Soooooo. I just bricked mine. Saw this forum and still did it. Pretty pissed. I opened the updater and it wasn't recognizing my casio so I tried to quit the updater and restart it. Wouldn't quit. Then I went through the directions and properly turned on my xw-p1 in update mode and my computer recognized it and started updating. Two minutes later the updater finally decides to quit. I restart the updater and it doesn't continue updating. Then I waited and still nothing. Then I stupidly decided to try and restart my casio. LCD screen lights up for a second with no lettering and immediately goes off. It's fried huh? I bought mine new 5 years ago so the warranty is done. I saw the above post and it looks like this is going to be me. Is this my only hope? I have a link here http://www.pacparts.com/cart.cfm to what seems to be a replacement mainboard. Is it very difficult to replace this myself? I have almost zero soldering experience. Or do I need to buy this mainboard and take it to professional? I'm gonna call casio tomorrow. I figure it can't hurt to ask you. Thanks
  4. Thanks for you reply. I think I should be able to figure it out from here. I'm thinking of getting a VMK-161 Plus to put right below my XW-P1 and then have a Behringer FCB1010 on the ground as my new rig. I'm hoping the Rhodes and piano sounds will be decent enough for stage use. Should be a bit of work to learn but it'll beat my current set up (Yamaha yc30 with a couple effect pedals and an e-mu xboard 49 on top hooked up to an iPad, volca keys and iconnectmidi4. love it but it's a lot of work to set up, heavy, and has a lot of opportunities for error in set up)
  5. Hey guys! I'm wondering if what I want to do is possible. I'd like to hook up my xw-p1 to an external midi controller and have a piano patch on that midi controller while having a split of organ and synth on the xw-p1 (all sound coming from the xw-p1. And if this is possible could I also do layers on top of that (organ and Rhodes left half and synth right half while the external controller is playing piano). This would make live use great. Thanks!
