Electro 5D - Bb and B keys not sounding

Postby tucktronix » 17 Jul 2017, 05:53

Hi all,

I've owned my 5D for nearly a year now and since then it has been a major part of my rig. Last Thursday, I've discovered that my B key(2nd octave) isn't triggering the piano, or any synth that uses velocity(organs were fine). So after following instructions from a YT video, I summoned up the courage to take the unit apart and clean the contacts myself. Well, after assembly I plugged it in, struck a few keys and voila.. no sound from both the B AND Bb keys.. :wtf: NO sound! HELP!!! :sad:

Maybe they are still dirty? Did you check the ribbon cable connector is correctly seated?

What did you use to clean the contacts and how (did you clean only the circuit board, did you check the rubber contacts have been reassembled correctly) ? I hope you didn't use any substance that rather than fixing may have ruined the contacts even more.
