The Casio Technician looked at the electric piano. It's the mainboard (as expected). And it would cost 250€. I think it's very poor from casio. Even after a couple of years this should not happen. I am really disappointed. Goodbye Casio. In the future I will at most buy your calculators. 😉

Sorry to hear this happened.  It's a terrible feeling when something goes out after years of enjoyment.  This recently happened to me with a 50 inch TV I enjoyed for about 10 years.  It's gonna cost me some repair money to bring it back to service.  Unfortunately it's a rather common problem with those TVs after so many years.  The manufacturer won't cover it since it's been out of warranty for so long, which is understandable.  

 

When did you purchase this instrument?  Are you still under warranty?  Was it new when you purchased it, or used?  They will cover repairs on anything still in warranty.  From what I'm seeing, PX-A800 was released 10 years ago.  If I recall correctly, it was a limited edition anniversary model.  

 

Judging from what I've seen on the forums, the solution to the sound glitch has been replacement of the main board, a significant part of the instrument, the heart of it so to speak, and the cost seems to reflect how significant the part is.  I would guess new replacement parts for these are also probably hard to find by now.  They usually make a limited run of service parts.  If that's the case, you may be able to find replacement parts used, or maybe another piano used.  I wish I had better news.  😥

Thank you for your answer, I really appreciate it. I purchased it from a private seller. I didn't noticed the corrupt keys when I played it before the purchase. Maybe it wasn't even corrupt and it happened during transportation who knows. My local Casio Dealer offered to bring it to them and they will take a look at their  workshop for 79€ - without Royal Casio Technician 🤴. It's my last hope. 😕

Same problem with my Casio Privia Px-a800. 

Casio support is not very helpful here. I'm sure it is a waveform related problem. Even if I play the audio demos the buzz tone is played. 

It's 2023 now.. And still no solution. Please help us. I am not the only one. And where is Casios offiicial statement about this? It's so upsetting. 

Contacted the nearby Casio Dealer and they said a technician from Casio costs 200 € just for him to come over. Really? That's how you keep me away from buying Casio Products.
