Hello. I dont know if this is the right section to post in, so Im sorry if its not. So about the problem: My Yamaha PSR S500 display stopped working (not completely but a half of it) due to wiring problem (I guess thats it, cause nothing else could be, and touching or moving the little cable fixed the problem but only for a very little time, as you moved the keyboard the connection of the wires were lost). And as far as I know, repairing that at home is quite impossible, and buying a new display for me seems too pricy. So what I wanted to ask is, is there any software that when I connect the keyboard with a PC, it would show the keyboards screen on the PCs screen? Like an external display I would say. I would really appreciate that or any other way that would fix the display.
I don`t think we could connect an external display to the PSR S-500 , right out of the box. Video out is available on the higher end models such as PSR S900 / PSR S910/ Tyros range. You could try one or more of the following and see if it helps: 1) Also, there would be a setting for the LCD contrast control. Try changing it and see if it helps. 2) Try a software reset of the keyboard. Its explained in : http://www.deeplysimple.net/2010/06/reset-your-yamaha-keyboard.html 3) Also try connecting the keyboard to another power socket/ or use another adaptor if its available. It could even be a power issue. Regards, Jez
Thank you for your answer. Well, I didnt mean it via video out. Wouldnt it be possible to do it via USB cable or whatever? You can connect the keyboard to a PC, there could be software for the PC that gets the keyboards display signal and show it on the Pc. About the contrast- I've already tried that, it doesnt help. And I dont think that resetting or changing the power socket and that will solve the problem either, because its a wiring problem ( I made sure that it is)
