Hello everyone, a while back (longer ago than I’d like to admit) I let some hissing from the tweeter drive me crazy enough to take the whole piano apart. I’m finally attempting to put it back together and there is one metal bracket that I cannot for the life of me figure out where it goes. It looks like it should go on the bottom but can’t find a place for it plus it’s longer than the main unit it would have to somehow fit out to both sides. I’ll add pics as soon as I figure out how on these forums but any help would be greatly appreciated. https://imgur.com/a/hj52QKg

Hello. I have a Casio Sampling keyboard SK-200 that belonged to my mother. One of he keys was broken. I was told by a Casio referred Casio junk yard in California to take it apart and the part number would be on the back of the keys. He said that several keys would be one piece/part. The keyboard is actually divided into two parts and there are no part numbers on them. Only key numbers. I am trying to find out if there I a way to determine the part number, and then find a place that may have it. Also, it appears to be exactly the same as the keyboard on my Casio CZ-230S keyboard, so I am wondering if they are standard keyboards for smaller synthesizers of that time. Does anyone have any direction for me? TIA.

Hi. I have aquired a used XW-G1 Synth that's missing a small black plastic handle on one of the sliders. Is it possible to back-order this? 🤔 Jay 🎹

Dear Casio community, I would like to share my Casio experience in Australia. I have a 15 years old PX-100 and I need a new PCB and hammer felts 🔨. It have the well-known clicky-clanky action due to tappered felts and sometime it has a long delay (>5s) start-up (perhaps due to a failing electronic component e.g. chopper regulator). Shriro Australia Pty. Ltd. is the official Casio support representative in Australia. They did not respond to my email regarding spare parts enquiry for my PX-100 for weeks. Maybe they are just that slow 🐌, , lack of staff, unable to locate the service manual PDF or simply L.A.Z.Y. For curiousity, I decided to give them a call. I was so surprised that they said only selling power adapters, power cables 🔌 and music rests as per their website: https://casioservice.shriro.com.au/collections/electronic-musical-instrument-spares - They also refused to recommend/sell any alternative parts. Instead, they referred me to an authorised repair shop located almost 60kms distance from Sydney CBD. This particular shop were not interested in selling parts and agitated to help. Basically, he stated a clear message that I am on my own. I was giving up dealing with Casio and their repair shops. I was thinking might be better to go to Bunnings (a hardware store) to get some felt tapes for DIY solution. Regarding the failing PCB, I will enjoy the Privia until it will not turn on or maybe getting a second hand parts from eBay. And about the clicky-clanky action, I was reading an article of someone used a Yamaha Clavinova felts and I did it. Contacted Yamaha, ordered the parts and arrived in my door step within a week. After a felt replacement, the action is as quiet as the Clavinovas 🎹 . If you have second thought about this and your Privia is out of warranty, don't hesistate to do it. As much as I love Casio's price & quality ratio and this great community forum, sadly this PX-100 will be my last Casio experience. I am withdrawing my intention to buy an award winning PX-5S pro keyboard for my home studio and/or live rig. Music lovers usually will keep their beloved digital pianos for a minimum of 5 years and we will do our best to perform any simple repair, like myself. Ask yourself what would you do if your Privia or Grand Hybrid need a maintenance repair after 5 years and your local Casio responded 'We no longer have parts'? Yamaha and Roland stocked older parts and selling parts to myself. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Casio digital pianos to a friend or relative, until I can buy genuine spare parts directly from Casio and being helpful assisting older model owners. Please share your Casio support experience in your country. I would love to hear it. Happy weekend and keep playing with anything.

Hey does anyone know where to buy a motherboard for the AP 450? My celviano started making wierd noises, and technical support says I have to replace the motherboard, but they want to charge me almost a third of the original price of the piano. I was thinking maybe buying it from somewhere else could be cheaper. Thank you.
