    Yamaha psr ew400 piano loses sound

    Yamaha PSR EW400 piano intermittently loses sound and shuts down.

    Youtube people recommend verifying that the DC jack's solder connections aren't broken, and the replacement of a couple of capacitors in the vicinity of the DC jack. While these solutions might work, I'd feel a lot more secure if I had a schematic to help me check the status of the myriad components.

    Schematic and suggestions are welcome.

      i wouldnt be surprised if a rom is failing - these yamaha keyboards are all dying now.
      if you have the tools - read the rom out - for backup purposes

        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...

        YAMAHA CLP-550 without of sound
        by AlexVG
        Hi.
        I have an old YAMAHA CLP-550 without sound. (Some times I can get some kind of noise or distorted sound)
        I have replaced all green marked elements, but it gave me nothing.
        The IC12 chip LC9116A-105 (red marked) remains under suspicion yet.

        But it is custom YAMAHA's chip, and I can't find any information about it.
        Maybe somebody came across with the same issue?
        Any information will be very useful. I will be very appreciated.
        Thank you....

        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...

        Yamaha MOX8 boot freeze and distorted sound
        by maleksa
        My Yamaha MOX8 synthesizer recently developed two issues.

        Firstly, after booting up, it operates as normal. However, after about 5 minutes, the sound starts to get distorted (broken up screeching sound) almost like putting it through a guitar distortion pedal. After a while, the distorted sounds will go away for a while and comes back. At times, the synthesizer will also freeze I need to power off and on again.

        Secondly, when powering off and on again, there will be times where the synthesizer will freeze during the boot sequence (freezes at the MOX8 Opening Screen),...

        No sound from Yamaha digital piano
        by Pianomancer
        Hi All,
        I have a used Clavinova CVP 209 that isn't playing any sound from the keys or memory, neither on headphones nor line out. The speakers work OK from line in, and the rest of the lights and screen seem to work just fine.

        I have tried doing a factory reset by holding down the top key and turning it on, but that doesn't help. I did the RAM/ROM checks and they're OK. I checked the volume potentiometer and it seems OK (works with line in audio). I'm thinking it might be faulty DACs from the synth board (IC 28 and 29: ) or op amps. Not sure how to narrow it down more. I've...
