Here's how I fixed a dead key on a Nord Stage 3 Piano. It's not terribly difficult, but it does require a careful consideration of the internal ribbon cables.

For such a complex instrument it’s nice to see they have constructed them in a way that makes it pretty easy to get in there and do maintenance. Great repair!

Thanks! Yes, pleasantly surprised that it was all very accessible. The only thing that really surprised me is how dusty it was inside!

Thank you so much for video !!! I just finished it on Nord stage 3 88 and it's work! 😅 In my instrument the mechanics are a little different, but the essence of the work is the same.

Did it today, worked great! There were a couple more pieces in the way than there were in the video (I have the 88 key stage 3, so probably built a little different), but just meant unscrewing more bits. Thanks a lot!

Hey, thanks for the Helpful Video! My only question is: "Should I use water for the cleaning solution?" I am going to try denatured alcohol with a Q-tip instead and maybe use mineral oil for lubricant if needed. I have a Nord Electro 5D-73 with a dead key. As a retired Electrical Engineer and musician, I'm all about DIY repairs. I'd rather not pay for parts, like a $300 power supply, which was the first thing to go. This contact cleaning maintenance would be a great preventive measure and a cost-effective solution.

I've done a few of these now, and i still use distilled or highly filtered water. You can try alcohol, i worry about removing too much of the carbon from the rubber contact. My goal is to just remove the glossy "buildup," which a wet cotton swab does pretty well...

NS3 88 has more connections, including some on the side. Great video, but I turned around and aborted mission for fear of hurting the instrument as the 88 seems a lot more complex.

Good to know. Sometimes a home repair can become a more expensive ordeal if things go wrong!

Great video! I'm cleaning mine tomorrow. I was going to use ipa but I'll use distilled water now 🤓

Technically I used a highly filtered water, very similar to distilled. I'm sure alcohol will work fine, I just didn't want to risk any reaction with the carbon pads.

Hello, thank you very much for your help! I'm having contact problems with two keys, but I'm having trouble fixing them. Can you tell me what screwdriver sizes are needed for each screw? thank you!
@FrankOlsonTwinsАй бұрын
#2 philips and a torx bit(i didn't reveal what size. Or, a hex key will work if it fits just right. I used a hex key/allen key that fit snugly

I wanted to know if I took the spring off from the key it self to clean it off how do I put the key and spring back in place
@FrankOlsonTwinsАй бұрын
Not sure. I'd just try to clean it with the spring in place with a small paint brush or tooth brush. I know lots of dust and hair gets caught in the springs, but I think total disassembly becomes a bit tedious/risky.

I *think* LB has a chip inside the head of the plug. Cut that off and it's all over....

Is it me or does that capacitor at 1:00 look like it's bulging?

Nice catch- that might be a future replacement if that piano ever comes through my door again....
