Greetings, Everyone!
Sometime ago, I posted stating that the key above middle C was playing full volume when just lightly playing the key. I actually caused it by a spider coming out of the keyboard and I made a wild swat at it and hit the keys hard. No one really had an answer. It was thought that a section of 12 notes would have to be replaced. Then, later on, I posted that I was having problems with the Sequencer/Reset button not working well, along with the Stop/Start button. It was suggested by John C. that a tuner spray might work. At that time, I had an aerosol can of air to clean dust around electrical components. I tried it and it didn't work so I did go out and get just what Nigel called a contact cleaner. What I got was not a silicone spray that I thought I needed but a gas that had a type of cleaner in it designed especially for electronic components. I first put it on the Sequencer/Reset button and the Start/Stop button. They seemed to work a little better and then I did it again and that helped the buttons to work even better. This morning, I decided to take a chance and spray really good on the key above middle C. I sprayed a lot around it and about three other notes next to it. I almost panicked because the notes quit playing. I immediately thought that it was the wet solution that was keeping them from making a contact. I kept playing them several times for the cleaner to get to the contacts and left the keyboard and didn't try playing the notes until this evening and VOILA, they all work and especially, the C note is playing correctly. All these months it played full volume and would play three or four times when just plying the note softly once. I feel like I have a new keyboard and have entered heaven.
I wanted to share this good news with everyone just in case someone else has a problem with buttons or especially a note not responding correctly. The electronic tuner cleaner could well be worth a try.
A happy KN7000 player,
Mark
