It's really a good idea to look for a YT video for that. And take photos of some steps you do - if there is any doubt for reassembling.

Does this also apply to the Nord Stage 4? This post was made before the Stage 4 was released, so just making sure

the power supply used in many Nord models is the same. there is nothing structural about the NS4 design that would warrant changing the power supply.

i’m absolutely sure, that even if they have switched to an updated supply, it will still be designed with the same voltage select switch.

Thank you for providing this valuable information regarding the power conversion for Nord keyboards. Your detailed instructions on changing the power supply settings and the fuse specifications will undoubtedly help many Nord users facing this issue. Having a clear reference like this can save people a lot of time and potential confusion. Great job in consolidating this information in one place!

Hello,
:keyboard2:
Thank you all for the dialogue in 'ere and the useful info.

Context: From the USA, moved a Stage 3 to the UK.

Littlefuse is a USA based company, so shipment to UK comes with additional cost/challenge. Plus maybe customs issues.

After a little while I found a UK local supplier of these : https://docs.rs-online.com/6201/0900766b813d73e9.pdf

here is the supplier: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/cartridge-fuses/8527106

and I looked at the American rated fuse within my Stage 3, just so happens to say BUSSMAN on it. grey end-cap.

Forever yours,
