I cannot believe that actually worked. I've opened my keyboard and completely cleaned it multiple times and it never worked. All my E keys have been dead for at least 5 years. This fixed it in 30 seconds. I liked and subscribed for the first time on a video.

[@ianwood6892]

Tried this on my Yamaha MOXF8, and it works. Time and money saver - thanks brother!

[@martynlegg1042]

Brilliant! Twenty-eight years ago in a fit of generosity, I bought my wife a Yamaha Clavinova PF P100. About eighteen months ago the F# key stopped working. Tonight we were deciding where to buy a new keyboard from when my wife discovered your channel, with some skepticism I tried your advice and it worked, I gave it a good bearing and it's perfect! Nobody is more amazed than me! Thanks so much, you saved me thousands of pounds!

[@pianokg]

😀 So wonderful to know. I understand why anyone would hesitate to try this. 😀

[@EGill-cw7hl]

My Yamaha keyboard had the exact same four keys quit working a few months ago. I was lamenting having to buy a new keyboard when I had only had this one a few years, but I did what you suggested and they’re back! Thank you so much for this!

[@PaulLodewijk-dc7xq]

I had three keys dead. I hit it over the complete length. Now they work again. Great Bro!

[@bjamiork]

WTF? This literally just worked for me. Are you kidding me right now? All of my E and B flat keys were not working. Turned the PSR E-303 on both sides and hit it just like you did...turned it back on...and all 61 keys work. I'm stunned, lol. I was just reading up on the internal schematics of the circuity to try to figure out which resistor or cable ribbon I was gonna have to replace but now I don't have to deal with all that thanks to "this one weird trick" lmfao. Thank you SO much! You've made my daughter super happy!

[@pianokg]

🤣🤣🤣 Amazing!!

[@andrewm190E]

Mate... I was about to pull my Yamaha keyboard apart with it 10 million screws and I saw your fix it method and it worked like a little beauty Thanks fella...you're a LEGEND🤩👍

[@DebugOutput]

It worked!! Just tried this with my Yamaha keyboard that had just got a dead E in the higher octaves and it’s back working. My kids watched me do it and couldn’t believe it worked. Thank you!!! 🎉

[@markewartjr.1311]

Thank you so much. My son and I thought it was just clickbait, but it actually works. We were in awe when we saw that the keys actually worked. Thank you

[@marshallbolin]

Dude. I was doubtful. But I tried your method. Now my key is working. Haha, thanks! This saved me a lot of money.

[@paulvandamme9333]

I’ve had an Alessi recital grand for 2 years and after about 6 months every note in one of the octaves went dead. I was looking at repair places and I watched this video and it actually worked. Thank you for actually making real tutorials and not just some fake info that doesn’t work

[@Gope1o]

Believe me or not, that fixed our Yamaha problem we lost 12 keys, I couldn’t believe that it would fix it, but it did it!Thank you very much sir!Respect!

[@smoothgruvband-sgfamily9318]

TO MY AMAZEMENT IT WORKED!!! At first I thought this was a joke or "spoof" video but I figured "What the heck. Let me try it." I was shocked. It actually WORKED! Thank you so much!

[@AyshaBorsos]

No lie about two seconds ago I was freaking out that some of my keys had just stopped registering on my Yamaha dgx-230 keyboard screen when I press them and no sound was coming out. I did exactly what he said, just tap the keyboard with some medium force around the whole thing with your hand and it worked wow. Saved me so much stress. I did also find out though during my research that the inside of the keyboard piano gets super dusty and you can unscrew it and vacuum it out but I know some people are kinda scared about it like me but I’d rather not have my keyboard be unplayable either so we gotta do what we gotta do to take care of our instruments. There are videos showing how to do it if this video doesn’t fix your particular problem. You just need a screwdriver/vacuum. Good luck everyone on figuring out your instruments’ issues. I know this can be tough to deal with and find answers to without going to a repair shop. Also thank you to the video’s creator for making this because at first I thought he was trying to be funny but it actually does work. I’m thinking that the logic is probably that some dust or debris might be in the way of the electronics pieces and this is a way to loosen it and get it out of the way without opening the piano

[@TheVigokrell]

GOD BLESS YOU SIR. Had a dead key literally 1 week out of the warranty. Every other KZbin video about an "easy" fix for a Yamaha dead key involved 4 hours of removing 56 screws and performing surgery on circuit boards. And then you come on and say "just hit it!" and it completely worked.

[@samkuzel]

Thank you Mantius! You saved me so much time (and maybe money) with this video! I can’t believe it worked

[@da1nonlyqueenliz]

It freaking worked!!!!! None of my A keys worked & just like magic they worked again after tapping it! Thank you so much.

[@NatashaVella]

You are my friend are a lifesaver - my keyboard has been playing up for ages! Always different keys not working, and I followed this today with a smile, and after 2 attempts, it worked! You are a magic man - thank you! xx

[@theawitbooi1104]

Hi. Omg the light shaking and tapping trick really works. I'm a 47yr old mom and in 2min became my 15yr old son's hero. Almost opened up the keyboard unnecessarily. Tnx 4 turning me into a hero. Thea

[@robinnazaraean4418]

I've fixed things for people for a long time, my own things are a different story. I'll let stuff sit for years if I can work around an issue, which I've had a single dead key that's shaped my music writing for the the past year at least. I finally decided to fix it and look up a few quick fixes before opening it up and checking out the circuits. I'm so glad that I did, bc I wouldn't have thought a simple pat on the edge would be enough to knock whatever was blocking the connection loose, but it was. What a time saver! Thanks for the tip.

[@costalesmiryam]

Thank you so much, it really worked just doing exactly what you did. You made my day. I was so sad thinking that I have to buy a new one. You save me money. You are fantastic.

[@pianokg]

Thank you for letting me know that it helped. Amazing. I felt like you when I encountered the problem. Best wishes.

[@abbeyroad5097]

Simply amazing! I watched your video and did what you said to do and now the E flats on my Yamaha keyboard works perfectly. Thank you

[@musicman3569]

I can't believe this worked! I have an old Yamaha PSR-273 that I use for MIDI input next to one of my music workstations and a few days ago all the G/F# keys stopped working in all octaves except the top octave. I assumed it was something electronic from a lightning storm that day. I was skeptical this would help in my case, but on a whim I decided to give it a go, put it on its side, and slapped all the keys like you did. I actually saw some fine dust/particles coming out. I put it back on the stand and voila! Everything worked first try. Thanks so much for spreading this information.

[@Allthatiloved]

It worked!!! Thank you so much!!! I was super scared because I don't have money to take it to repair right now and I did it in like 30 seconds by my self!! You're an amazing human being ❤❤

[@SunsetDancer11]

My God...that really works! Thank you sooo much my dear Friend! May i call you so? In the beginning of this year a friend gave me a present, a legendary Yamaha PSR 8000. Old but Gold. Many famous Musicians played it, still are playing. I was sooo happy about this instrument and about its fantastic sounds. Some months ago, i wanted to play again, but nearly no sound came out of the speakers or Headphone, nothing. I was sooo sad. Some days ago, i decided to look here on KZbin, if someone perhaps has a good advice...and so i found your video...made it exactly like you showed...and oh Wonder! Again everything works perfect again! Thank you sooo sooo much! I wish you a good & happy life, dear friend! Jochen from Germany

[@vitalysobolev8132]

🧙🏻‍♂🪄Today, the exact same keys on my 11-year-old daughter's Yamaha P35B stopped working: C# and G in the two upper octaves. I found your video and decided to try it. I took a tambourine (I have a small one, but made of real leather and stylized to look like real Siberian shaman tambourines) and called my daughter. I put the piano on its end. And I knocked on it (like in your video) and then on the tambourine. The more I knocked, the more my daughter's eyes widened. After a minute, I finished, returned the piano to its normal position and turned it on. I played a chromatic scale across the entire keyboard and voilà: everything works. Words cannot express my daughter's surprise. "Daddy, you're a SHAMAN!" was all she could say and laughed for a few more minutes. Thank you brother! You made my day (and my daughter's piano, too).🧙🏻‍♂

[@jive499]

just did this, on my old yamaha, and it worked. the key came back to life. God bless you friend!

[@princetonallen300]

IT WORKED!!!!! THANK YOU! I WAS GOING TO GET ON MY KIDS CASE. YOU SAVED MY KIDS FROM GETTING IN TROUBLE LOL. THANK YOU, AGAIN!!! I WILL SUBSCRIBE

[@jyotiagrawal2565]

Thanks so much. This trick really works. Mine Yamaha keyboard is 20 years old. Some of keys just stopped to work. I didn't want to throw it. As many memories were with it. I was looking the options how to fix those three keys. I found your video and thought there is no harm trying this trick. I am amazed it's start working. I am very happy to see it. Thanks once again.

[@blanchelle]

Well!! I followed your instructions and the 5 keys on my keyboard which weren't working are now working fine. Thank you, thank you.

[@LieutenantSmile]

Thank you so much! I thought I would never be able to play my broken keys again, you just saved the day man

[@AmberGarrett-py6ry]

Absolutely Shocked that it worked. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!. After reading the reviews I'm so glad that I don't have to buy a new one. Thank you again.

[@stayalive8268]

bro you saved my life, i did the exact same you did and i was laughing because i didnt believed that it will work....Genius, thank you

[@guptah81]

None of my keys were working, I tried this, lots of stuff came out and it's working fine again...legend

[@chanehly4916]

Sir You just saved my life, I'm truly afraid of doing something that I don't know to my piano, so this was really easy!! Thank you so much!!

[@pianokg]

You're very welcome!

[@ayodejiadesanya3376]

I almost thought of taking my Yamaha electronic keyboard for service until i saw this video. About 5 keys were dead. Replicated what was done in this video & VOILA, the keys came alive😮😮😮. This video deserves more likes than it has....

[@TC-rhythm]

Lucky I found this video! All of my Yamaha C#s and Gs stopped working as well. I almost ended up breaking out the screw drivers and going down the rabbit hole following the advise of other videos, but I tapped on it some and now it's fine. Must have just been dust. Thanks!

[@Joaning1775]

I was extremely skeptical but it worked, who knew the old faithful “give it a good beating” method would work😂 thank you so much, didnt want to get a new one as this is the last thing my uncle gave me before he passed so I really appreciate you

[@californiaman8885]

I had two key not working, I just tapped all over the included two keys and now working, great video.

[@collinswhite6600]

U are a key board genius, my five keys just stop working I was stressing over it already I just tried what u said and its working u just save me a few bucks. Thankx u

[@pianokg]

Thank you for letting me know that it helped. Wonderful. Best wishes.

[@Mark_Thompson_Author]

Great stuff!! I have two dead keys - tried vacuuming... didn't work - now I'' try banging the thing! Cheers from England!!

[@JackMiller-kn9gt]

Genius! Saved me a lot of time pulling my keyboard apart and meticulously cleaning. Thanks

[@SalehAhmad-x6k]

I wish I had more thumbs than two; to put up for you! It was insanely effective! Eight keys of my Roland EX-30 have instantly come out of coma just now! Can't thank you enough!

[@solomaha_production]

Thank you so very, very much!!! The exact same keys didn't work on my piano! I did as you showed in the video and the keys worked again! I wish you good luck!

[@scottsimpson7766]

I have a KORG keyboard.. C E and G# stopped working… I ran into this video and tried it and they are now working. Thanks much !

[@koenraaddesmet3086]

I just want to express my gratitude. I had some keys that were not working. I gave my keyboard a couple of encouraging taps. And there they were. As good as before.

[@AbraxazEfrainSanchezLopez]

Dude I was gonna open my Yamaha and strip it’s guts until I came across your video. It was either that or a buy a completely new one. You just got a like my friend !

[@champagnemoonlight4196]

I am completely flabbergasted that this worked. I thought everyone was trolling. Wow. Thank you

[@LewisElroy]

This is crazy. My Yamaha psr e463 had a C which was silent, opened it, wipes it clean, but still dint work. After seeing this video, I closed it n gave it a few slaps, now it works. Thanks a bunch

[@sparrowwassup7156]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! My middle C wasn't registering at all except for a faint quiet note, I did what you did in the video and it fixed it right away!!! So much time and money saved! 🥰😁😁

[@iggswanna1248]

OMFG IT WORKED HAHAH!!!!!!!!!! thanks bro you are a legend. hundreds of people love tapping their yammies that's hilarious!!! thanks a million

[@MixingMagic09]

YES THIS ACTUALLY WORKED LIKE WHAT OMG. I was in the middle of practicing and then one of my E keys stopped working. This was so helpful thank you so much

[@БИБЛИСКИПРОПОВЕДИ]

Wow. The same problem, the same keys not working and the same solution. Thank you. My piano model is Yamaha p-85. Amazing!!!!

[@wbrown4033]

Thank you for the tips, it worked for my Yamaha YPG 235, the church has one and it does the same thing, I'm gonna do theirs the same way I did mines and hope it works, thanks again, you have a safe blessed week.

[@j_5244]

I can’t believe this actually worked. Thank you for creating this video!

[@spenton1979]

Thanks so much. I had some real anxiety over having to get a key repaired for possibly more than I paid for the keyboard. This fixed it. For me it helped after tipping the keyboard first on one end and then the other.

[@Magic9leo]

Thank you so much. I used to do this with most of the electronic gadgets but since keyboard is sensitive I never thought of doing it BUT DUDE IT WORKED. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤

[@monicadcunha18]

This was really helpful it worked !!! My 2 keys were not working, after some hits, it's working now.... thankyou so much !

[@pianokg]

Thank you for letting me know that it helped. Wonderful. All the best.

[@JVTechMusic]

you are my hero !!!!! it actually worked for me on a YAMAHA P35 with 4 dead keys. THANK YOUUU

[@rebeccahgannon]

It did work on our Yamaha p71b keyboard also!!! All the a flats wouldn’t work nor the d sharps. Thank you for this. So crazy!!

[@JanLutzLennart]

I'm so thankful, this had just happened to me and it worked out of the box! Incredible! Wow! Alle keys came back working instantly.

[@aryaendrashukla539]

this is crazy it worked😂 i had the exact same keys not working! but now they do!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@kayeru1]

thank you brother! i was so close to opening my keyboard up and completely destroying it ! haha very helpful it worked well!

[@HazetusGamingApurbo]

Thanks a lot man I’ve tried on my Roland EX20 Arranger keyboard and literally worked for me I don’t know how to thanks you, literally man you saved my money you save my time you are my life saver man I don’t know how to thank you but once again thanks a lot

[@yajingluo9774]

Unblievable!! It does work!!!!! I have try to open the piano and fix it, but it was too difficult. But it was fixed after I flapping it, it is so amazing!!!!!!

[@augustog.n.4515]

Maaaaaan, this is serious life hack. Neverminded, I tried a the last resource for saving my p115, and ta dah. Like a magic trick, it fixed my problem. Thank you very much man

[@JayTheBarber603]

You have got to be kidding me, it worked!🙌 Thanks man I was honestly laughing when I watched the video and thought all these comments were fake😂. Just saved me a couple hundred, liked and subbed, thanks again, be well.

[@tomwayne4507]

Tried this on my korg Vox continental and it worked! Thank you very much!!

[@mekahpersaud]

I was originally following another tutorial that said to take the piano apart. So I took off the back cover with a million screws and got lost. Found this video afterward and I’ll admit I wasn’t even going to try this. It seemed ridiculous. Let’s just say I ended up being mad at myself for not finding this video first. Instead, I spent an hour doing and undoing all these screws when I could’ve just banged it into working again in the first place!! Thank you so much for this surprisingly helpful video.

[@more444store6]

Thx! Worked great, I didn't want to take it all apart for sure. This was a fast fix.

[@zanogian193]

Thank you!!!! I watched the video and... Incredible: the same problem whith the same keys (C# - G - C#, but not the other G). I've call the service and they've told me to bring them the keyboard, the have to open, change this and that... But after the video in 2 minutes I solve the problem and start playing again (in tha same bad way, of course...) Thank You!!!!

[@dinkybaldwin9730]

you sir, are my hero!!!! I've been having problems w/ dead keys and your suggestion worked!!THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@ipodnano2126]

Just tried it and it worked. This man is a modern day Arthur Fonzirelli.

[@innocentnwaigwe5916]

Maaaaan God bless you. I really cannot thank you enough, thank God I stumbled on this video. I borrowed a yamaha psr e363 from a neighbor, all of a sudden, all the E keys stopped working but after seeing this video, I tried it with a big doubt but fortunately it worked men, I wish I can like the this vid more than once. Thank once again.

[@pianokg]

I appreciate your comment. Thank you.

[@tron103]

Thank you very much. This fixed my problem! Literally the exact same keys started after I was dusting and now it's working again. Thank you!

[@pianokg]

Glad it helped!

[@stevewagner9002]

Omg!!! It totally worked. All my e keys were not functioning. Tapped it on its side. I could hear littles bits of something clicking around there on presto. All keys work again

[@quotemusic5162]

This worked for me as well. I was having the exact same problem where four keys went dead in the same configuration. I thought I was going to have to open the thing up and this saves me so much trouble!

[@isaacupton615]

You saved me hours, I was about to take my keyboard apart!! Thank you!

[@happycow99]

It worked! I was so stressed discovering that 4 keys stopped working. Just a week before a performance. I did the trick - to be honest, with some disbelief - but i did the job! You made my day! Thanks so much! In my case it was the D and Ab in the 2 lower octaves. Of course subbed and liked.

[@albinamahomedova5582]

ARE YOU KIDDING ME😂😂😂 I just fixed my piano by shaking it!! That’s insane ahaha THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!

[@foodlifeisanawesomelife6447]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS IS LITERALLY THE MOST HELPFUL THING EVER !!!! THANK YOU 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖

[@malenestel6533]

Ty so much it worked I thought the piano was broken real LIFE SAVER

[@ΣωτήρηςΘάνος-γ6β]

Omg bro thank you so much. I was so ready to get it to the technician! You should be viral!!!🎉❤

[@sachinmore7183]

Thanks, Worked like magic on my piano

[@myredeemerlivesamen991]

All the E keys had no sound and we bumped it like you showed us, now all the keys are working. Looks like the keyboard goes to sleep now and then 😄 🤣. Thank you for the tip, it's sureal that it works.

[@digitalmediafan]

Yes my old Yamaha PSR`140 had 5 black keys not working but just even one tap from me and it worked, quite bizarre. Thanks for the fix !

[@modernvintagelifestyles]

Thank you! This worked in my Yamaha DGX230. The same key wasn't working all the way across the keyboard and I thought I was going to have to replace the entire keyboard, but this trick worked!

[@Fshcaglio]

Worked like a charm on my P-45. This made my day.

[@SobrietyandSolace]

I told my boyfriend to stop dumping his shoes and bags and other heavy objects directly on my piano keyboard that I scrimped and saved to buy. He hasn’t even apologised.

[@martinmty07]

Please dump your boyfriend, he doesnt love you enough... do It asap...

[@adrianpena8362]

@@martinmty07That is true. If he doesn’t have respect for beautiful instruments and his partner then I don’t know what his issue is. However, I don’t think dumping him right away would be necessary. Maybe he just has to realize his actions and take note on that, while also apologizing. When he still doesn’t mind his mistakes with time then he has to be too immature for this woman. People deserve to be treated appreciated and acknowledged regardless. Well said👍

[@MalkuthEmperor]

I sware, dump him, but his shoes first.. I mean, what kind of behaviour is that , like the fuck However be the case, you do you, c not my relationship Have a good day miss

[@Goats_and_hoes]

My husband does this too, except he never puts things directly on the keys. I put light stuff on it too sometimes because we live in a small trailer and have very little space but I have had to tell my husband so many times to stop placing heavy sh*t on it ingeneral.

I had the exact same issue (C# and G of two highest octaves not working) and this solved the problem for me. Thanks!

[@kimberlylacy6366]

I was so doubtful but this actually worked on my UMOMO keyboard!!❤

I had exactly the same problem with the very same 4 keys (2 c sharps and 2 G keys on the high end). your trick works !! amazing. saved me allot of trouble (and money). Thanks allot for your tip

[@expresshonal]

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!!! 💛 I will do this as soon as I get home & will come back to let you know if it works for my Yamaha YPG-535, oldie but goodie, digital piano! 😊 Either way, I just SUBSCRIBED to your channel!! 🤩
