dbecker22 Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I gig with a Privia PX-5S and have a PX-560 for home use. Both are long out of warranty. I was having some trouble with the double key strikes sounds on the PX-5S so I took the keyboard out of the PX-560 and put it in the PX-5S. It worked beautifully and I have gigged with it for the past few weeks. Success!? But, I managed to damage the ribbon cable on the PX-560 and had to order a new one. It arrived yesterday and so I connect the PX-5S keyboard to the main board on the PX-560. I get no sound when playing the keys. The speakers work when I start a drum track. Should these keyboards be interchangeable or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 It should work since the swap to the PX-5S did. Did you get the replacement ribbon cable from Casio or elsewhere? It's possible that a non-Casio ribbon cable might have some differences. You could try it in your PX-5S and see if it works there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casiofun Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 The ribbon cable might not be seated correctly in the connector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craZivn Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Out of curiosity, what turned out to be the culprit? Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
