Parts list is on the same page! Woo HOO! Finally I am able to get replacement parts and a service manual so I can repair my junk quality Korg M50-88 that started making clacking noises on the second day I owned it! Also the black buttons are so stiff that I broke one of them and it fell inside the piano! and NO>>>> I am NOT TO BLAME for buttons so stiff that they break when you push on them!

No more Korgs for me.

I didn't have many problems with my M50.

Thanks for sharing the link! Although sending an item to Europe probably would double the price or more, making in not that interesting.

On the other hand, I own Korgs for over 10 years, having 4 and never needed any replacement part.

My gearlist is much short: but still no real hardware fails, see below:

Organ (unknown), never any problem
Organ Farfisa Lido (pedal broken, still broken, not used anymore)
Yamaha keyboard (key broken, due to own fault, was quite cheap to repair)
Kawai K4, power plug house broken, went to repair center (not cheap)
Korg X5, never problems
Korg N264, dust under keys, own fault (dusty rehearsal room without cover)
Korg M50, one time no display, opened and reconnected plug internally, half hour work
Korg Triton Extreme, sometimes display takes 10-20 secs to startup, no real problem

offcourse i had to do some cleaning under the keys too and change a battery once in a while, but thats about it. so i can not complain.

The button set I ordered came after only 3 days and I was very happy they got there so fast but I had to wait a few additional days to get the Service Manual which just came today.

The Service Manual turned out to be a rip off scam. It was a 26 page PDF of schematics except for the first page which was the same exploded assembly view parts list page that I had already pdf downloaded for free from the Partsisparts website. so I spent $19 plus shipping for nothing. The so called "Service Manual" did nothing to help me open the Korg without fear of causing more damage.

All I can tell you is to take extensive photographs every step of the way so you can put it back together again exactly as it came apart and to document every step you took is dis-assembly.

When it came time to replace the button panel I was upset to see that out of the four junky super thin plastic legs that clipped the button panel to the circuit board that three of them had been damaged in shipping and that one clip was useless.

I say again, Korg is built from cheap low quality junky parts and I stand behind that statement. Don't like it T.S.
