Anyone have a link to some instructions on how to open this keyboard to install some sample ram? The instructions at: http://www.k2users.org/k2/k_ram.htm ...seem to omit a few steps? I took out the screws mentioned, but the cover doesn't seem anywhere near coming off. Is there a step by step procedure somewhere that describes exactly what to do to open this keyboard?

The screws attach into an aluminum rail you can see down the center. 3. Flip the unit upright and remove the 10 back screws just above the seam along the back. 4. The top is removed as follows: 1. Place both hands firmly on the top of the panel on each side of controls. Push the entire top down and then push towards the back of the unit sharply. 2. Lift the right end up a couple of inches, then pull to the right so the bezel for the disk drive clears the end. 3. Carefully lay the top unit back top upside down on the floor. Be careful, because there are cables attached along the back. Don't pull too hard. What part of this didn't work?

There are what seems like two plastic "caps" on the sides of the keyboard. Following the remaining steps, (i.e., pressing down and trying to push it toward the back of the unit), nothing moves at all when I do this. It seems like the "caps" on the sides of the unit are preventing this (though maybe I'm wrong about that). Do you know if it would be true to say that all you have to do to open up the 76 key model is to remove those screws - i.e., that's all you should need to do? Thanks

You could GENTLY try to pry the case apart with a thin blade. That might at least indicate what is preventing it from opening. That said the K2500 is a bitch to take apart. It is not a simple procedure. That's why anything that needs to be installed is: "Not a user installable item - Must be installed by a Factory Authorized Service Center (installation charges additional)" You might want to call around and see what a repair shop would charge to install your memory. Could be cheaper than breaking your keyboard. Also consider the K2500 Service Manual: "This manual covers both the rack and keyboard models, contains all disassembly/assembly instructions, troubleshooting, calibration tests and all schematics of the Rev G models (30 pin SIMMs) and the Rev K models (72 pin SIMMs). You could practically build a K2500 from this book. Order part # 910292 from your dealer or call Kurzweil direct."-- John Ruf

Do you know if it would be true to say that all you have to do to open up the 76 key model is to remove those screws - i.e., that's all you should need to do? Thanks The end caps do have to be removed on every Kurzweil since the K2000 (which could be opened by simply removing the bottom panel). there should be two bolts in the back panel, three bolts on the bottom, and one additional on the bottom that is holding down a piece of metal that keeps the top part of the end panel from coming loose. Also, if you remove the end caps BEFORE removing anything else, you can look in to the unit from both ends, which may help clear up what else is needed. I've disassembled a PC88, K2661, PC2 all in this way. Never worked on a 2500, but I expect that they are the same. REALLY be careful when you do open it not to break loose any wiring. When you close it, be careful not to pinch any wires between pieces of sheet metal, they will be shorted out eventually, with differeing results from inoperative scanning to letting out the magic smoke.

At least give him instructions that will fry the Kurzweil. He deserves whatever bad happens to him.
