Korg DW-6000 Repair (Battery Replacement + Reprogramming)

In this video, I open up a Korg DW-6000 that was being a bit forgetful. After replacing the battery to solve that problem, I also reprogram it to have its original factory presets

Great video, thank you for making it. This gave me the confidence I needed to actually do the same on mine !

Your welcome and I'm glad to hear it has installed some confidence in you. That's what I ultimately hope you achieve with these repair videos

Try my free DW-6000 editor. There you can also restore the factory sounds in a few seconds 👍

Great video. I think my battery has finally lost all it's juice and needs replacing. The only issue is I don't understand soldering that well. I'm scared a tech my break the synth by accident too.

Soldering isn't too difficult, but certainly takes some practice to master. I would imagine anyone who is a tech should be able to handle the job. Hopefully you can find someone to do it for a reasonable price. I recall one time picking up a DX7 from someone who claimed a technician wanted $175 just to look at it. That number may have been thrown out there because he didn't actually want to deal with it but it could also be a realistic number. I honestly don't know what the going rate is on that kind of work. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck with that. It would be really cool to hear, with a bit of practice, you built up the confidence to do it yourself, but I also understand if you go the route of seeking out a tech. In that case I hope you find someone who can do a great job at a price you feel is reasonable.

Great instructional. Thank you for this! Most grateful! However, please consider slowing down a bit with your speaking and take your time enunciating your words. Because you sounded like you were half-drunkenly slurring while pinching your nose, and rushing through your speech, on top of this. 😆 Consequently, I had to turn on close captioning on the KZbin options in order to discern what you were saying half the time.

Thanks for watching and for the advice. I was trying to keep these videos short-ish, but I guess I took things too far lol. I have also been considering adding my own closed captioning, but it's good to hear that atleast youtube can understand me
