Cleans, protects, lubricates, and improves conductivity

Reduces intermittent connections, arcing, and RFI as well as wear and abrasion

Safe for use on all metal connectors and contacts and will not harm plastics


Some of my Tyros 2 buttons need a bit if sprucing up...
this should do the trick. Got a can coming.

CRC always did the trick for me. Used it commercially. $7.98 at Home Depot.

Sparky did you use it on TYROS 2?

Donny, it will not work on those type of sealed switches. But, you can destroy a PC board in a heartbeat with it - it's a solvent!

Gary

No not on the keyboard. Contactors, relays and the like. Won't affect plastics.

👍😎👍

I agree with Gary Diamond. This stuff has no use around keyboards. If you really have issues AND you're a qualified tech, some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip might restore reliable operation. But if the switch has been hammered on for more than 10 years you might just need to replace it-- again, IF you can get the part, and are qualified to do that sort of thing.

No problem I'll spray the buttons.... If it helps fine...
If it doesn't that's fine too, ... If it stops working in the garbage it goes and get something else. I've used this in the past on all day and new keyboards no problems at all.

Ok I just sprayed with the Cleaner I've shown above
on the Tyros 2 buttons, wheels, knobs, etc,...and wow what a big difference! .....
now buttons that were a bit sticky or needed a
firmer extra push now work fine with a light touch!!
I am so glad I did this bit of self maintenance on T2 using this contact cleaner worth every penny ...
works like a charm so easy you never know what
dirt & grime is in the air even in your own house
that can gum up electrical contacts.

Being a electronics tech...I recommend the QD first, then the Caig next, it has some nice stuff in it to keep things clean and protected from corrosion.By first I use it first on a contact then follow up with the D5.

All is working fine now great product..D5

Glad that worked. Should have tried that years ago.

Be carefull, many of these contact cleaners leave a ressidue that can cause problems inthe future and so only offering a temporarilly solution..

If you want to clean the inside of your keyboard..
Us an airduster spray that only contains fresh air..

Thanx all works great since I spray cleaned..

Well, on a hunch I decided that maybe Donny knew something that I didn't - WRONG! I purchased some Deoxit D5 cleaner. My On/Off Switch on the S-950 has been acting up for the past few months, though it turned on perfectly normal, it would not turn off. So, after reading all the instructions, I sprayed a few drops on the edge of the on/Off switch, plugged in the power supply, turned on the power, then turned the keyboard off in the normal fashion - IT WORKED, but just once. Now, anytime I turn on the surge supreser, the keyboard turns on without touching the on/off switch and will not turn off. Yep, just as I suspected, only a few drops made its way on the contacts of the PC Board of the on/off switch, rendering it no-operable. When I take the board to my tech guy, I'll have him clean it with alcohol and some q-tips to get this junk off of it. I should have known better! DO NOT USE THIS STUFF ON YOUR KEYBOARD!

Gary

Gary could be other outlying problems?.....
as I said D5 worked terriffic on my old Tyros2 buttons.

Gary, I think my 950 has the problem as yours. I was considering using the spray, but I think I’ll take into to the shop!

We often used vodka to clean the old PSR2000. Just pour a drink into it and blow a hair dryer on it, and after a while it is good as new. My late friend HankB used this trick several times. Hard to believe that thing is STILL in use. Full of burn holes and now faithfully attending AA meetings.

Deoxit is fine for all open contacts, all the PRO audio guys use it. the D-5 is more for conditioning,,,after cleaning.
I use 91% Alcohol first. NEVER use anything abrasive. You can use a burnishing tool if you have one or can get one. I used to be an IBM computer tech and I have a few left over.
It will not fix contacts that are badly worn or out of adjustment. You may need a new switch installed.

I took the top off the keyboard. The on/off switch, just like all the other switches, is a hermetically sealed bubble switch. Inside the bubble, which cannot be removed, are carbon contacts that make and break with the PC board the switch if mounted upon. No contact cleaner in the world would clean this, mainly because it is completely sealed. However, the contact cleaner does improve electrical contact, especially on the surrounding PC board. Thank goodness it didn't come in contact with the other boards that operate on micro-volts. This could have been disastrous. I cleaned off the PC board with denatured alcohol and a Q-tip, and now I'm back to where I was. Gonna take the board to my tech guy tomorrow and have him replace the switch. Everything else on the keyboards works just fine - no underlying problems, Donny.

Goodluck Gary keep us posted..
