Kawai ES 8 digital piano easy repair. Unboxing of replacement Part, assembly and demo.

[@hangallcabal]

super helpful, found 2 suppliers in UK thanking you, anyone else in UK -WD Greenhill & Co costs £133, best price available, big relief money wise, as the model is discontinued, so can't simply buy another, it's the only piano i'll ever need, so far cheaper method is replacing these when needed, i only have 1 key which very occassionaly sounds overly loud or not at all, so shall be fine for some months yet but going to buy whilst available at this cost for future repair, Magic! Should mention you MUST replace the entire board which as we see in video is 2 parts, as these are updated offering longer life & improved dynamics, fits the replacement model also ES920, so getting an enhanced upgrade as well as repair, CANNOT mix old & new parts, hence the twin set

[@StratplayerUK]

Just replaced mine, after a false 1st attempt (I forgot to clip the front of the new PCB edge under the keys, so it only worked if you thumped the key). However, 20 minutes later I am all done and corrected and working a treat now :-) So pleased.

Thanks for the video I ordered new keyswitches from Canada it really looks pretty simple (PLUG AND PLAY.

[@StratplayerUK]

Nice one, just ordered the board for my ES8 (I was given the piano by my sister). Middle C and around there is pretty grim and it throws you right off playing when its dead. £133 delivered from WD Greenhill, hopefully arrive over Xmas so i can fit it.

In the video is the old contacts, a newer verion is available now at W D Greenhill

Nice video demonstration, thank you. I have the opposite problem: some keys broken due to a shipping accident. I'm 2/3 of the way finished opening up the top case, but the service manual illustrations aren't very good. The key slip was easy, but if you have information about which screws to remove underneath, aside from the metal lip, I would appreciate it. Otherwise I'll just keep removing screws until I get there :)

I own an ES8 that is several years old and has already been repaired . One of the keys is not producing any sound ( middle. C#). Key is not sticking at all just mute. Any suggestions appreciated thanks so much.

[@nutt6410]

Sorry I’m a bit late but I had the same problem with my es7 and using a leaf blower on the keys worked (I’m guessing the problem is caused by dust particles being stuck in the keys blocking the sensors)

[@cyrielmabilde7729]

why are the new green epoxy boards not mounted instead of the defective ones

[@stlpro2a386]

Does anyone have issues with "off key" notes? Thought digital keyboards didn't get out of tune. The second A below middle C is noticeablt FLAT, off key.....makes sound, just not in tune.

[@fulviogranata9431]

Thanks very helpful. I've got same issue as well. Did you try to clean the optical reader first and see if the key was working or you went directly for replacement? Thanks in advance for your reply

[@kimdienst87]

Yes, I tried cleaning first and switched the software Settings etc... Replacement worked :)
