Nord Stage 3 Piano Fix Keyboard dead Key Repair

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!

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

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

Wonderfully produced video, and very helpful.

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

Glad it was helpful!

this Chanel is amazing ¡¡

Hey, thanks!

[@lincemartinrincon]

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!

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

#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

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

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

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.

Hi, I have a problem with the piano library on my NS3 (FFSfail 22). Can anyone help me ?

[@Jazzanomics617]

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

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

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 am having Roland bk3 arranger keyboard . I am also having same problem but in bass octaves 4 black keys are not functioning. And keyboard is also having chord error means when I am playing cmaj chord it shows c min 10/eb. And when playing a rhythm beat the chords section is not in proper way that it should be . I don't know what to do know . Can anyone?

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

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

[@DoktorRockszo]

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

[@FrankOlsonTwins]

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

Which keyboard in the word is free from carbon
