Success! The procedure was fairly easy. (But, jeesh, there are a lot of screws to unscrew and an awful lot of PCB plugs to unplug). The only issues I had were: 1) I lost first few screws in the body of the keyboard when removing them from the "windows" in the back. Since I don't have a magnetic screwdriver, I ended up laying on my back on the floor and unscrewing the rest of them in such a way that if they were to fall, the would fall out of the hole. This worked, but I can now hear the screws I lost inside the body of the keyboard when I move it around. 2) I had trouble getting the solder to lay flat on the PCB. It had a tendency to bead up and required a lot of "smearing" to get it to touch the contacts. But, other than that, no issues. Thanks for your help! Brad H.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and report back.

Hi, I got the part (quickly and easily from FullCompass, highly endorsed) to replace the power jack. This is what I find when I disassemble the keyboard. All looks good on the inside, but the inner plastic tube that holds the wire connections in place appears to have broken loose (see the picture above), so the part does need replacement. Do you have any thoughts on the easiest way to replace the part? I've done light soldering (with the soldering tool shown) before, but am not familiar with this configuration. Thanks! Brad H.

Will do, thanks. I'll hold off until I get the part (which I just ordered.) B.

I guess I'll order the part (for 6 bucks how can I go wrong?) That way, I'll consolidate the number of times I have to take the keyboard apart. B.

Thanks. What's the easiest way to access this part? I don't want to disassemble the keyboard any more than I have to. Brad H.

Not sure what happened to the old power socket, except to note that it's always had a bit of "play" Here's a picture of the plug and socket: Thanks! Brad H.

Hi, I have a PX 330 and am having trouble plugging in the power supply. The power adaptor has nothing to contain it. The 12V plug (the hole in the back of the keyboard) has two small prongs inside, whereas the power adapter itself (the end of the wire that you put into the power supply) has a single tiny hole in a round plug. I searched around for a replacement part for my keyboard and found this: https://www.fullcompass.com/prod/520236-casio-10334294-dc-jack-for-px-330-ap-220-wk-7600 My question is this: How difficult is it to replace this part? I have a very modest amount of experience with soldering (usually computer parts) with a simple soldering gun, but am not an electronics expert by any means. Should I have my keyboard repaired, or is this something that someone without a lot of experience can attempt themselves? Thanks, Brad
