Hello everyone!
I have a CTK-540 Casio. It worked fine for years, then one day I tried to turn it on and it wouldn't come on. Thinking that it was possibly a short in the adapter, I purchased a new one at Radio Shack. It proved that the adapter was not the problem. The guy there told me they did not fix keyboards anymore, but if I took the back off and took a photo they might be able to see if a fuse had blown. I removed the back and nothing appeared fried, plus I could not see anything that looked like a fuse. So I took the keyboard to Radio Shack and a guy there looked at it. He too could not find anything that looked like a fuse-- and nothing appeared wrong except-- he said he could see a tiny bit of rust inside the spot where the adapter plugs in. I just tried to use a piece of sandpaper in it to remove that speck of rust-- however, the keyboard still does not work. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be and how i might fix it? I'm a middle-aged woman, so please use understandable tech terms/language when responding!!!! Thanks for the help.
