My Ketron SD1 1 has a dead F1 push button. So of course, I can't save any changes to my registrations.Everything else is operating normally. Is it possible to remove the black plastic cover & spray clean it from the
top? Anybody have any ideas on this type of problem?
Thanks!

Talk to AJ he can advise you on how to proceed with a solution for this problem...
good luck

Or you could go to Ketron.it and email support. They have always answered me fairly promptly.

Hey!
I had the same problem with different buttons..all you have to do is to buy new switchies and carefully replace them.I did that even for buttons with a LED indicator.But you need someone skilled enough with soldering and DIY electronics, or a pacient TV reparator..if they are still existing in our times!

Depends on what kind(design) the switch is. If it's open contact...maybe. If it's a micro-switch or other closed switch desig....nope....needs to be replaced

I would check with Ketron Italy and/or AJ.

If you were near me I could fix it for ya.

The SD1 switches are 'closed' types and they need to be replaced.

I would NEVER use contact-cleaner in modern equipment.

Also, never, ever clean open contacts with anything abrasive. Most contacts have a silver plating. Why most open contacts fail is lack of WIPE. Which makes them self cleaning.

Use a business card with a small amout of De-OXIT cleaner.

Thanks for your help. I was able to pull up the black cover over the F1 switch around an eighth of an inch-but realize to 'wipe' the contacts you have to remove the whole large control board-then you should be able remove the black plastic cover to get at the contacts (well-maybe). I'll contact Ketron to see what they suggest. I can now save my registrations-guess the slight movement of the switch cover -along with pushing the button down-while sort of 'rocking it' helped a bit.
Cheers!
