I believe WD40's lubricating and cleaning power, can "wash off" some tint when the hummer stricks on it. anyway, the old ribbon base is too dry to absorb some tint pigment, as well the WD40 will somehow keep pigments active.

It works Nicely! congret!

You are lucky, I just did the research for you, in a minute you will see in the last section of the same post, I updated there to help others too, it's really easy.

Hi paulo, I have no experience of repairing backlight, are you sure they are broken? maybe is just the connector on the main board, with 2 pins, voltage about 3V. if it's turely broken, you will have to buy a new one for backup and give a try to open it.

Nice guide! Ever thought about Inkjet printer inks? they come in bottles, i wonder what if i sink the ribben in that ink, let dry, then spray with WD40.... sounds crazy? anyone think is imposible?

Good sample! Once I made a twin-monitor stand with 2 poles of umbrellas. and they holds well. (sorry no picture left)

That's why some of us collect junks, just for case one day make something, even a piece of metal, (Fallout game?....) for example, "what can i do with an wasted Cam-Coder, or a inkjet printer, or "plastic mild bottle" etc.

Nice to know you made it! you might need to know this fix will not solve forever the issue, but it really points to the origin and able to repair it, I opened 3 times mine, as the problem went back twice, each time I put little higher flow temperature, and the 3rd time was beginning of last year. good luck!

Hi there! glad my note helped in solving the issue, seems it's a genetic bug of all DGX keyboards (i just can't call it piano even it sounds good, but the keys stoke feels toy). I do recommend you have a hot gun to finish this kind of job, as the iron slide quickly on the contact ribbon, maybe may become open again in a few days. good luck!

sorry for not replying before, the keyboard overall is functional, but not very much "pianist", it compares to CASIO more or less the same, good one to practice a few month, then let her try a real piano, you maybe need to sale it to someone else.

Yes, you can catch the offer, the overall quality and durability are ok, as it made by YAMAHA, sound quality is decent if the internal speaker still original, or you can just connect to an externally powered speaker system. one thing I feel the keys are little noisy compared to a Casio, the strike sound, maybe the shock absorber is getting old.... Mine one is about 7 years stationary use. Hope this help.

Very nice publish, creative idea of rubre tire! perfect for RC Car tunning! thanks pal!

Brilliant!
