Triton LE Key Repair

Post by korgndm »

Hello.

I've been snooping around the web for a solution to my problem, but couldn't find one.

I own a Korg Triton Le 76, and recently, due to this synth's age, some keys started "wearing out", in other words, when I strike a key, no sound will come out.

It happened to me once already, and was able to send it to the shop to repair, and pay about 50 €. Now I have two more busted keys...and I don't really feel like paying 50€ each time this happens. What seems to be the issue and how can it be fixed DIY?

You mean the keys are broken or just not sounding? In the last case, consider:
- cleaning dirt under the keys (open the case, might void your warranty though)
- check if the electrical lines/cables are intact

I would first try to clean it ... if you are a bit careful, it might prevent bringing it to a repair center.
