Hiya, I own a Casio WK-3200. Am a second owner. I am also selling it as I am looking to upgrade so I want to know if I can fix it. The person I bought the keyboard from wasnt the owner, but her sister owned it and was selling for her. She said her sister had barely used it at all. When I got it, the keyboard looked great, well kept so I dont want to blame damage from the previous owner. Problem: So all keys work fine except for C2 and C3. The issue is when these two are pressed with a bit more force, either individually or together, there is a rattling sound or like a distortion. When I play a C octave as bass notes on the left hand and a C chord on the right hand (with the two keys being pressed mentioned above) it is highly likely that this distorted or like rattling sound occurs. It makes playing the notes sound bad, happens in both speakers. Touch sensitivity is set to 2, which is good for how I play but its just the two C notes ruining it. If I set the tranpose to '01' instead of '00' it fixes it but it changes how everything sounds and I am not a fan. This ringing/rattling/distorted noise happens on any touch sensitivity just at different points when pressing the keys. Its not a matter of 'just press the keys with less force', I am selling this keyboard and it shouldn't happen so I am asking for a fix for it so its as good as new to go to a new owner.

I have a Casio CDP-100 I haven't used it in a long time (I find the keys too heavy) I've attached a small sound clip of the issue - I'm hoping it's just loose solder The first note I hit is with the piano on under half volume. the last two are on full volume IMG_0574 (1).mp3

Need some help. I play the PX-5S live at church every weekend, and just recently it has started sounding random single notes. They happen at random intervals; usually about 3-4 times in a set. The best description I can give of them is that it sounds like someone is reaching over my shoulder and hitting a single note, out of key and out of time. It's VERY distracting. Here's my set up - Playing a piano stage setting with external audio out from the board itself. Have USB out to Mac laptop to control a synth in Reason. Also have a second keyboard (for Rhodes and organs) with its audio passing though the PX-5S and tied to a fader for volume control. Finally, I have a USB expression pedal going into the mac for volume and synth adjustment. Here's what I've tried for troubleshooting - * Made sure I was on latest firmware * Reset the board to factory (once) * turned off midi-in & USB-in on the px-5s I cannot figure it out. I've used this setup or something very similar for nearly two years. Is there something wrong with the board itself? -CK
