Removing Korg MicroStation Back/Bottom Cover

In this video I show how to remove the bottom cover of a Korg MicroStation. It's not hard, but you just need to remove the correct screws.

I see a very nice empty cavity which might accomodate some kind of battery to make this small keyboard really portable!

[@fishpotpete]

Wow, that's a great suggestion! Thanks for mentioning that 🙂

[@DonLuca27]

@@fishpotpete You're welcome, and thanks for making this disassembly video! I'm about to get one and I was already thinking of using a USB-PD capable powerbank to provide the 9V necessary, but seeing that internal space I think I might actually put it inside, while exposing the USB charging port of the powerbank by maybe drilling a small hole in the back.

Korg microSTATION could you referbish one of these keybords?

[@fishpotpete]

It would depend on what's wrong with it. There are plenty of parts available and everything looked to be plug and play (assuming you find the part). It's going to cost a few dollars, but you could probably almost build one from scratch :-) Do you have one that's not working properly?

Where you able to fix it? What did you do.? Have the same problem with the right output

[@fishpotpete]

Yes, once you get the back off, you can access the subboard that has the output jacks. There will be additional screws/wire connections you'll need to deal with - but I didn't record that for this video (maybe I should have!). The hard part for me on these things is figuring out how to open the case without breaking something. I replaced both jacks and they're working great ever since. I don't remember exactly were I bought the jacks from, but it wasn't Amazon or Adafruit. Maybe Digikey or Mouser? I couldn't find them in my records; If you do this, unsolder one so you know what it looks like, then start searching the various supplier and check the specs for sizes/etc. The replacements should just pop back in place exactly. Hope this helps!
