Korg Triton - Clean Repair Key Not Working (no sound) 

Dont know if you still look at the comments, since it was 10 years ago.. But dude, words can't explain how happy i was when i did this and the note worked afterwards... Thank you so much man

After replacing an old school failed FDD, I really struggled to get the cover back on until I watched the end part of your video. Thanks a lot.

Very helpful thanks. I have a broken key that has to be replaced and after watching your video, I feel more confident in trying to repair it myself. Thank again

When doing this, bare in mind that you will need to unscrew (screw) about 50 (or more) screws, so taking your time, being patient and methodical is vital. One BIG advice, when removing or replacing keys ALWAYS remove the key contact assembly from the keybed first, and put it back on when you are finished. If you need to replace a key, first take the key stopper off (long white plastic stripe on the edge of the keybed), then you need to push the key away from you on to the end of the frame,

Thank You very much Sussexdan7 I thought I was going to have to pay for an expensive repair..... Your tutorial saved me some money. My Triton LE was very dusty inside.

With the help of your video I just changed a broken key on a Triton. Thank you! Also, nice cushions.

I have a broken/ raised key! This will definitely help, Thanks! I'd rather try myself before paying $300+ for 1 key and easy work like this lol!

Excellent assist. Precisely that problem with a Korg TR workstation. This gives confidence to make the move. Thanks.

Thanks for this video. I have 2 keyboards with this same problem. I figured it was dust but was kind or afraid to mess with it without some knowledge. I will definitely try to repair them now. Kudos to you my friend.

Thanks for the post. I was going to take my triton with a bent key to the shop, but now I have the confidence to try it myself. I'm scared about the floppy drive part though. That looks tricky.

Thank you for taking the time to add this further information and advice. It's very much appreciated! Regards, Dan.

Great work mate. Dust & cigarette smoke are the worst enemies !

Had exactly the same problem on a Triton LE - fix worked like a charm :-) Thanks!

First thing, the keybed type: This keybeds (like on the Triton) are made by Yamaha and where used in almost all top of the line synth's by Yamaha and Korg since mid 80's. So if you are looking for a replacement key, here is a list of synths that use the same keys: KORG: M1, T2/3, 01W/Fd/Pro, Wavestation, i2/3, i30, Trinity/plus/pro/v3, Z1, Triton/classic/studio/extreme (not the LE), Oasys (76). Yamaha: DX7/DX5/DX9/DX7ii, KX76, SY77/85/99, EX5, W5, Motif 6/7(classic/ES), and maybe some others.

Hi, thanks for making the video, i'm sure it can help a lot of guys out there to repair the keyboard them selves without having to pay top dollar for repairs. I have 5 Korg keyboards my self, all of them with the same keyboard action (yamaha FS keybed). I've also learn a great deal when repairing ans servicing these keyboards my self. I'm just going to leave a few tips and info about these keyboards so it may help others with their repairs. So here it goes...:

Thank you very much for the illustration! I will try it out on my Korg TR76 that has the same problem. Cheers!

Thank you for this Video I have an​ old Triton Le without a floppy thank God that I was experiencing the same issues. So Im trying to clean inside to do the same as you have done.Wish me luck.

Thank you so much Sussex7 for making this video. You've saved me loads of cash.

This was quite helpful. I'm going to use this to try and fix my Korg Trinity this weekend. Thanks!

You my friend a God's gift to humanity. This is splendid.

You have no idea how much this video helped. Thanks man!

Well done and it does help. Thank you so much! Do you still have/use the keyboard? Seems they are making a 90s comeback of late.

Hi, thanks for putting up the video ... got exactly the prob with my Korg OASY (different key) that has been sitting around for a while gathering dust. Going to try this tomorrow :-)

many thanks for that. I have a Korg Trinity with same problem I'll give this a try!

Thanks Dan. Very useful tips. My rotary encoder is not working smoothly. Feels OK but values and cursor jumps about. Any experience and solution of this. Cheers Chris

Thank you. With greetings from the UK!

The contact never get dirty it’s where the contact is soldered on the circuit board under the note 😁

Thank You from Kazakhstan!

Don't suppose you want to do the same for the B on my Korg iS5? No, no 'course not, I can do it myself now I know how. D'you reckon I can just turn it upside down and give it a shake?

Thank you very much for this video....! Many Greetings from Germany :-)

So if you need a replacement key for any of this synths, they all use the same keys. The easy source of keys is Yamaha (yes they still have them) or the used market, or: syntaur(dot)com If you are just trying to clean the key contacts like on the video, always be very careful and gentle because those contacts are very fragile, use a soft brush and vacuum cleaner. If you need to fix or replace keys, you need to take the whole kaybed assembly out of the keyboard

I punched my korg sp-100 in frustration this morning, and now I am full of regret. I have a super sensitive key. I am thinking about opening it up to see if I can repair it.

I have a lot of trigger boards but would still like to use my trition as a trigger also.I had these three keys fixed at guitar center years ago.the same three are stuck again.ugh.maybeI should try and fix it myself this time ?

You're welcome mate, glad to help :-) Regards, Jorge.

Thank You Master!

I have had to take mine apart many times. I had it for over a year with a problem. First time took it to the shop. It had broken key. Then worked when it came back but now the contacts keep messing up and I think they may have left a part out. Is there something that is supposed to be installed to keep the keys more stable so that do not shift them off center causing the contacts to be misaligned?

Because one of my keys had slipped out I decide to take the back of my Triton Extreme but when I put it altogether ...only the last few of the keys one the right hand side worked. I have as yet to find an answer! I tried your idea but that didn't work !!!!

hoping this will shed some light. I have a output being fuzzy as fuck sounding problem.. any thoughts????

I can't believe that you actually bothered to print an "X", rather than just using a bit of dark tape.

why not hit it with contact cleaner?

My problem is another it is all the bsharps ands s on my keyboard are not working solution please

LOL. Thank you! Sainsburys... Very cheap in the sales! LOL

I have a issue with the value scroll going completely out of control. Continuously going up and down. Automatically. I need to clean it. I can't edit or anything.

Thanks for your help...2019.

I have the exact same Triton. I disassembled it because a Les Paul guitar which was hanging above it, fell off the wall and struck the Triton. The guitar struck the Triton on the top of the unit where the power supply resides. I checked it before I disassembled it and everything I checked it and it made unusual, unusable sounds. I want to put it back together and take it to a repair shop. I'm looking for a a schematic of the interconnecting cables. Any Idea where I could get one?

and lift the end of the key, then pull the key to you and slide it off. To put a key back do the reverse. To see in detail, try these videos: /watch?v=8BikNg_G-TA /watch?v=j-llq0B5f98 /watch?v=IFkXJ_CEcsI Its for the M1 but the keybed is the same. I hope i haven't bored anyone with my long posts :-) But i just like to share some knowledge that maybe will help some one out. Cheers :-)

Same problem with my korg x5d, I have a better fix, I bought a new korg kronos and relegated the x5d to a dusty corner. Take that.

Alles mögliche versucht,aber die Taste ist total tot. Alle Tips haben nichts gebracht. Schade !!!
