Re: Electro 3 unattached wire and board
That small PCB, used for the keybed calibration, is usually attached to the underside of the keybed assembly via one of the screws which secures the keybed's treble contact PCB to the assembly frame. The entire keybed would need to be removed to achieve that. There;s no real reason why you couldn't simply secure that to the chassis with a piece of duct tape and return it to it's original position sometime down the road when they keybed is being removed for regular maintenance.

Re: Electro 3 unattached wire and board
Perhaps you might want to use some insulating tape to prevent the underside of the circuit or the components touching any metal or any other circuits?

Re: Electro 3 unattached wire and board
Thanks, Something new happened. Everything played perfect before I opened it up, but now after reassembly the G# above Middle C and above are the only keys that play! All the keys from G4 and below doesn't play. Is this related to this small PCB being unmounted? PLEASE HELP

Re: Electro 3 unattached wire and board
Word to the wise.....when you open up your Nord, detach your cables that go from the circuit board to under the keys. That's why the left side wasn't playing.
As for the original issue, I fastened the small loose circuit board I'm holding in the picture to the bottom of the keys by taking out one screw and mounting it thru one of the holes in the loose piece. No longer loose now.
