Neal Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Wonder if anyone else has seen this problem. I've searched the forum but can't find anything similar. A couple of weeks ago, my PX 5s died while playing an outdoor gig, and I could not get it to power on again. I always carry a spare power supply but that also did not make it work. Strange thing though, when I hit the power button, the display lit up for about a half a second and then went back out. When I got home that night, I disconnected all cables and inserted 8 AA batteries, but still the same result. Display would come on for a moment and then go off. I also found that if I continuously hit the power button repeatedly very fast, the display would stay lit as long as I kept pressing the power button. However, no matter how long I did this, the screen would stay lit, but also stay blank. That is, there is no boot up or anything but a blank screen. Any insight as to what's going on would really be appreciated. I am on OS 1.13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 That's a bummer, Neal. Do you know how long you've owned it? When you bought it, did you register online with Casio to extend your warranty to three years? This sounds like a problem for a service tech, especially if it's still under warranty. If it isn't, you could try opening it up and making sure everything is connected properly. It depends on how handy you are and how comfortable you feel doing it.

Neal Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Thanks Joe. Unfortunately, it's out of warranty. I did open it up but couldn't find any loose cables or anything else that could be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppin Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Does the PX-5s have an internal battery? Maybe it needs replacing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Good point. I don't remember if it has one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Hmm. Not sure. Anybody know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 It does not. Modern Casio products do not rely on internal batteries for memory storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
