Sad news, my Kn7000 has stopped working. Everything is working but the keys are not sending any info to the rest of the keyboard. Chord changes and sound.

Its as if the line between keys and the rest of the keyboard was cut. This does not sound like it’s a major problem, I hope.

Anyone experience this problem?

Check your keyboard's Local On/Off setting as that will cause the issue you have. Make sure it is set to ON

I just took a look at the KN7000 manual it says "On the MIDI MENU display select PART SETTING". There is a LOCAL On\Off setting for RIGHT1 RIGHT2 and LEFT and they should all be ON for normal use. If they are ON then you may have a hardware issue. Though I would first try turning them OFF then back ON again.

I do not believe that a setting is causing he problem.
(In my limited Knowledge)

1-The keys will not make the style do chord changes.

2-I did get some sound a few times when I pressed the keys, but it faded after a few seconds. An on and off setting would not react that way.

3-I did get sound for a very short period when I move the cover. That only happened once for a very short time.
Now to find a Technion that will handle the problem.

Nigel, Gunnar, thank you for helping, John C.

Have you tried setting the keyboard back to factory settings?

Split point...?

Have you tried setting the keyboard back to factory settings?
Kitkat, I did that, and thnanks, John C,

Hi John,sorry to ear that,
Do you have the sevice manual? If not I can send it to you
Did you make the test of the keyboard?

Thanks to all for your help.
Have tried everything that was recommended, to no avail. When I load a sequence it plays without error. BUT when I try to use the outside controls, the controls when the lid is closed I get this reading;
ERROR #83

The error messages I have in the manual and service manual only go up to #73or #71. Any thoughts on Error #83?

Hi Bruno,

Unfortunately, I don't get much time lately for my music hobby! Any time I have available is being spent on site maintenance and redeveloping my Technics sites for a re-launch.

However, I've been reading your thread. This sounds to me as though the ribbon cable connecting the cover is failing. I think you should stop using it and find an engineer before it gets worse as you open and close the lid. Failure of these cables due to age and repetitive opening and closing of the lid has been on JD5live's mind I know because we have discussed it often.

I think the error 83 is probably a red herring and is to do with a file that the keyboard can't read correctly from your SD card. I have some info about error 83 but haven't been able to find it yet with a quick search.

I hope it is something simple to fix!

Best wishes,
Mike

It is always worth opening the keyboard up and making sure all cables ( and maybe even chips ) are plugged in correctly as they can change after many years of movement and heat expansion.
