Hi all, a neighbour has asked me to look at her keyboard (Yamaha PSR60) which she has had stored away in her attic. She wants to give it away to a young girl she knows. However she couldn`t find the power lead and bought 6x D batteries for it. The power-light comes on but thats about it, no sound and no other lights working. She decided to get a new power-lead for it on-line and after trying that to no avail has asked me to have a look at it
That was 72hrs ago, I know nothing about Keyboards but Technically i will strip most things that dont work and try to find and fix the problem.
I have Googled the model and watched all videos and sourced the manual and stripped the keyboard down 3 times, Found Nothing and Fixed nothing. I was suprised to read it was made in 1985, as it is in great condition inside and out. I Have cleaned all connections, tried the reset trick (Holding The Far Right White C key Down for a Few Seconds Before Powering Up) I also removed all the keys and cleaned the dust out from every Corner. I also tried Headphones but still no sound. I have Found that holding certain buttons down while powering on puts some lights on (normally 4 lights) Any advice would be brilliant (Good or Bad) I am Thinking Scrap it but just looking for an experts opinion. Thank You.
