El Lobo Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 The D note on my Casio PX-S1000 is way out of tune all up and down the keyboard. It's very flat. It makes the keyboard unusable. How can I fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Can you attach an audio clip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Lobo Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 no. the keyboard is at my grandson's house, an hour away. I may not be able to get back there for a while. Has this problem come up before? Would doing a reset help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 You can try a reset. Is it with all the sounds/tones or just one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Lobo Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 Just the D notes, all the D's. That's what's so odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I mean if you switch from piano to EP or something, does it still happen? I'd try a reset, but from what I understand how these things are set up, it could be in the controller or the "wiring" (ribbon, probably) to the keyboard. I hope it's still covered by the warranty.

Jokeyman123 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) El Lobo-any luck with this? I agree with Joe, warranty repair if you still have one-I think it's 3 years for most Casios. If you don't, I bet it could be as as simple as one of the key assembly cables not sitting in right-even a slight movement out of the connections can make a problem like this, probably not in the key assembly itself. I wouldn't dis-assemble this if it is covered under warranty-but if not, do you know any electronics repair techs locally? Or..it might be worth it to ship to Casio repair even with no warranty, I'd rather have a Casio tech solve this problem, than someone who is not familiar with computer/music electronics. especially with something this new. A well-meaning but possibly careless repair could definitely make things worse. I speak from experience, I've made foobars myself, and I have training at this. If it is a defective chip, it will be almost impossible for anyone to repair it with current technology being what it is, and specialized chips most of us cannot get their hands on. Casio, as far as I know, will replace entire IC boards if that is necessary, and replacement keyboards if warranted. I am not an employee, but have needed prior tech repair with Casio. Their US headquarters is in Dover, NJ. Overseas you'll have to look that up. Edited November 30, 2021 by Jokeyman123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Lobo Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks for all your comments. As I said above, the keyboard is at my grandson's house, an hour away. I may not be able to get back there for a while. But when I do, I have several non-invasive things to try. On my thread on Keyboard Corner, a few people, including Mike Martin, said to check the temperament setting which seems like a good idea. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
