Hi! actually i need a picture because my volume slider broke so i want to know how it is inside to see if i can fix it.
I've seen people posted links to show pictures so i guess you can't show them in the forum. can you upload them to rapidshare o somethin like that?

hi,
i must say that the recommended way is to go to your local Korg-dealer, but if there is noone near you...

ah ok the volume slider; unfortunately i can not serve you with a picture of the volume slider, because the power jack was a bit easier to access, but maybe it is not that more complicated.

do the following:
* the good news is: you can easily screw out _all_ screws from the lower side of your X50, nothing will happen if you do it, but...
* ...all screws are self cutting into plastic or iron sheet. So my tipp is: after the repair job every screw must go into its own hole back again of course, as the screws differ in length from 10-30mm.
* screw out the screws from outside to the middle and lay down the screws so that you know, or be able to remember, it's position.
* after the repair job, screw in the screws from the middle to the outside, and always try that every screw find it's way back into the hole on it's own, really without force. Especially at the open rectangle line because these screws go into iron sheet.

The bottom case part can then be opened easily. The upper case part contains all the installation, keyboard, cables and electronic main board. It only is connected to the bottom case part through some cables to the power jack plate that is screwed into the bottom case part, so another four screws have to be screwed out to separate the bottom from the upper case parts.

so your job now would be to locate the volume slider and do another few screws...

happy screwing

PS.: OK picture(s) next day coming soon...

I open my korg x50 because the exterior plastic is broken in one corner and I repair and paint it. Now, my korg X50 is blue edition

first, take a paper and draw where are all the screws.there are many diferent screws on the back, but if you mark it you havent got any problem.

have you got guarantie??If you haven´t got, please be patient and order all screws to put in the same order.

Its very easy, only you have screws and two or three conectors.
sorry but I haven´t got photos when I open my korg

Can you post some pics of your painted X50?
Is it possible to paint the entire plastic shell without it getting in touch with the electronics? I would like to try it with car spray, but I'm afraid that I might damage the electronics if the spray gets through some holes in the plastic shell.

I think that if you want to paint your board you'll have to remove the covers for painting no matter how you do it... also you'll have to use paint that doesn't damage the plastic...

ok tomorrow I show some pics because I haven´t got my camera here.

The paint that I use is car paint with two caps.when you paint, you must to paint in two sesions, because the plastic of the X50 its not very good and its not ABS plastic.
I open back case and front, and only paint the front case, I cover with paper the front conectors, screen and all plastic whrere are al these potentiometers, and I cover the back of the front case with all the conectors.

one friend paint me

and now looks great
