    Yamaha Tyros strange keys issue

    Hi, I'm a technician as hobby, I repaired several yamaha keyboards in the keyboard unit (some key doesn't sound or sound too much, etc.).

    I'm in trouble with a never seen case regarding a Yamaha tyros 2 61 keys. The problem is that all the couple the D# - A keys sound only the first time I press them. The second time I press them they don't sound anymore. The first time, they sound with a sustain too. The D# and A are on the same wires in the matrix scan as you can see from the attached schematics. I found a video in which the problem is as similar as in my case.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKascHbPazA&t=707s
    (from 4:05 couple of keys F#-C)

    In the past I repaired several keyboards with a persistent couple of keys on the same scan wire (eg D#-A or C#-G and so on) that didn't sound. The fault was persistent, they didn't sound the first time I pressed them. In that case the solution was to check continuity on the circuit scan, from the flat connectors to the single PCB traces related to that keys.

    Now the things are a bit different, there is no true interruption in the circuit (the first time they sound) because the first time they sound. Anyway I checked the entire D#-A circuit up to the matrix scan board connector and all seem OK. I noticed a lot of oxidation on some soldered connector pins, but it seems to be only an aesthetic issue because electrically speaking all seems OK.
    The only think I understood is that connecting only the MKH-D part of the keyboard the problem persists. The EMKS board (the matrix scanner) is directly connected to the MKH-D board. The MKH-D board is connected to the MK61-L by means of a FLAT cable, but this is not the problem as I said before.
    Someone had a similar problem and solved it?

    I have not re-soldered yet the pin cable on the PCB as in the video because all seems ok electrically (I checked the continuity from the connector pin to the microcontroller’s pin too) and to avoid to do a mess due to the very short distance pin.


    Thanks a lot.

    without reading any of that, i'm going to say you need to put it in diagnostic mode and do a rom test.
    yamaha stuff is notorious on this forum for rom failures.

      Re: Yamaha Tyros strange keys issue

      OK STJ I will try and report.

      In the meantime I checked all the 61 line's resistence from the 5V to each key's diodes and they results correctly all 33 Kohm as in the schematics

      So, increasingly strange...

      Regards.

        can you post the complete service manual?

          Whenever I have seen odd resistance on an IC's input pin(s), it was due to the IC getting zapped by ESD. The input circuit inside being damaged.
          Keyboards can get nailed with ESD and this Yamaha has no extra protection.
          Otherwise, all that is left as a cause might be the matrix diodes, if they are leaky but their path is not to VCC or GND.

          I would guess the IC is damaged and maybe add resistors to overcome the leakage. ESD damage can also get worse with time I find due to ion migration. So it might fix it for a short time.

            I second redwire’s idea with the IC. They surely can behave like that. Matter effect in can even work for an hour and then kick out. Had that happening before. First you got to find the faulty board then get down and fix the issue.
            I don’t really buy the matrix board being at fault, but hey… that can be tested or swapped.

              After cutting several paths on the PCB and measuring the resistance, turns out that some vias were oxided. That oxide had produced a pseudo-layer of partial conductive material between signal and ground, creating a no stable recognition by the scanner. At the same time the ground layer near to the vias was oxided too and the copper was starting to lose the solder mask.

              Now all is OK.

              I hope that fix will last for some time, because some vias were hidden by the top board and I worked not seeing well.

              Thank you for your support!

                Yamaha RX V675 sound issues
                by jjne
                I have an old Yamaha RX V675 receiver which is starting to develop issues with the sound, although it doesn't quite match up with what folk normally report with these.

                From cold, the sound cuts in and out. When this happens the amp is losing sync with the optical input (speaker graphic disappears from the front panel). But this is not resolved by putting the unit into pure direct mode. After a couple of minutes this resolves, although there are occasional clicks from the speakers after that.

                At first I thought it was either a speaker relay or the DSP, but I don't think...

                Anthem MRX500 - no sound

                Dear Electronics Experts:

                I have the following problem I am trying to troubleshoot. Unfortunately, I have contacted Anthem themselves and even a local distributer but I am not having much luck. Also, I have scoured the internet and unable to obtain a service manual. The Anthem service rep has also replied that he is unable to provide me with any service documentation. I have performed numerous searches on the internet and cross-referenced a few other AV receiver makers (Denon, Marantz, Onkyo) and found certain similarities to block diagram...

                what i went through dealing with my mobo with dead onboard sound!
                by ChaosLegionnaire
                so i took out one of my spare gigabyte ep35-ds3r mobos from storage for use to do some cpu, ram and video card testing of stuff i bought from ebay and got for free from momaka. he bought 50 e8400 cpus for cheap from ebay some years ago and i decided to help him relieve him of some of his supply since he had waaaay too many!! what did we say about hoarding too much stuff and depriving others of them?! *cough* socialism *cough* lol!

                i had to blow some dust off the board and heatsinks with the datavac as i didnt clean it up before putting it in storage. after finishing...

                Kenwood SW-505D no sound issue and pops from time to time when it works
                by ex250
                Hello mates,

                I bought this subwoofer a few days ago used and blind and it works erratically, as far as I could see, it has been tampered with, the speaker is not the original one and of 8 Ohm when it should be of 4, and there are some welds like reworked by the boards.

                It doesn't have much power (expected more from it) and it distorts if you increase the volume over the middle, maybe it's because of the high impedance of the speaker. The problem is that it has sound when it wants, the led panels all work correctly, you can hear the power relay on power on, but right now...

                MacBook Air A2337 820-02016-07 No sound ISSUE
                by saisoni20
                Hi,
                I have A2337 MacBook Air no sound issue.
                I have replaced new Audio Board but still same issue. I went through repair wiki and checked critical voltages.
                In terms of voltages, I have following voltages,


                1 PP1V25_AWAKE_IO - 1.2V
                2 PP1V25_AWAKE_IO - 1.8V
                3 SPKRAMP_A_OUTP_R - 0V
                ​4 SPKRAMP_A_OUTN_R - 0V

                Am I missing any other critical voltages?

                Thanks
