I know some folks on this forum have opened their microkorgs but I couldn't find any pics on the internet. When I was exploring mine I took some photos.

According to other posts on this forum, the knobs are stuck on but can be removed by heating them, e.g. with a hair dryer, to soften the glue. They can then be prised off. Haven't tried it myself so go careful Wink

I know this has been answered but i used a heat gun. Some say a hair dryer works just as good.

i put the heat gun on low and heated the knob facing the back of the micro then the front. I kinda melted one of the knobs so BE CAREFUL if you want to reuse those knobs. I also replaced the knobs with very similar ones that have a tiny flathead screw on the side so i wouldn't have to heat it up again assuming the glue was still sticky. Just unscrew again later.

talk about cutting costs... glue tape, who does that?? Korg, don't do that please.
