Musella Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Hello, I've received last week my XW-G1 ! I live in a little french tropical Island near Mauritius Island named La Réunion, so, the XW-G1 arrived by postal. When I received it, some keys were blocking a little so I decided to open the XW-G1 to see what's the problem. the white grease was absent in some places. I've seen that a little yellow wire was not welded, near the battery compartment. If someone could tell me why this yellow wire is not welded... Otherwise, the XW-G1 works perfectly ! It's a very powerful machine. I love it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musella Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hello, Where can I find a XW-G1 Service Manual ? I think it'll be shown inside. I've written to Casio France, but no answer for the moment ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CairnsFella Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Sorry to reply with a 'non' answer, but in all that I have read regarding the XW's over several months I do not recall mention of a service manual (I would have downloaded it if I had), and the only internals I have seen is a post showing the the circuit boards of the P1. You may well find what you are looking for, but it may not be an easy or quick task. I think your best bet is to keep on at Casio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone could tell me why this yellow wire is not welded... You say everything is working properly right? So my GUESS... The XW's share a chasis with other models with built-in speakers, so maybe there are some other shared parts as well. Perhaps the yellow wire is connected to a speaker in another model and it's not needed in the XW so it's not connected. Just a shot in the dark.

Null Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 The most logical question is whether or not you have tried running the G1 on batteries or not? Since you saw it was unsoldered near the battery compartment it seems likely it is a battery connector wire. If the unit doesn't run on batteries without the adapter then Bob's yer uncle and you've solved the mystery. Gary \ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musella Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 Happyrat1, you're right. I thought about this option but I not wanted to buy batteries because, here, in Reunion Island, batteries are very expensive... but I think it's a good solution.I'm going to buy batteries. Scott Hamlin, I think you're also right because the yellow wire has never been welded because it's very clean on its denuded part. I'm going to take a photo this afternoon and post it !

I feel like I am being "Mr Negative" here... but is this really going to help. It doesn't strike me as though any of the above contributors have implied that they may 'recognise' any internals. Hmm. I shall try to be more positive and say, I guess it isn't going make anything worse is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musella Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 Yes, but there'll be a photo and one day, if someone open his monster, perhaps,.. This photo will serve as archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I don't know why I would turn down the opportunity to see some additional internal pics, as I would actually be quite keen. I suppose I was being a little blinkered and only thinking about results for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
