While I have electrical knowledge and multi-meter, if I open up keyboard I have no other diagnosis kit. I can buy new dc adapter (about £9-15) but may not get me far: is this only way to diagnose? (or should it is be protected by a diode?) Possible when I first tried it was wrong way! Would that have blown input stage in keyboard? (Probe is very narrow and not tight in keyboard connection). But unclear which way gives positive to central probe? That has 2 pin connector between lead from adapter to dc probe to device.īelieve it reverses dc power by inserting pins 180 degrees round. Seller positive it works sent photo with keyboard light on.ĩV power adapter works - light on, tested by PC shop today. Packaging was not great but no obvious damage or other symptoms. Model CTK501, bought from Ebay (perhaps bad idea!): indicator light not on. Please, help me dA forum.Glad for advice to get my 2nd hand keyboard working! I don't want to get rid of my piano, and I can't afford a new one nearly as good as this one. Unfortunately for me, that didn't work for my particular series. It frustrates me to no end.įor a while, I had hope – I found a Roland driver and instructions on how to alter it to work with Casio pianos. So I can use the piano to send signals to my computer. But through all my googling, sweat, tears and blood, I have yet to find a working driver. I know for a fact that my computer can send signals to the keyboard, which the keyboard plays. Composing music is a bit of a hobby of mine – no, that is an understatement, it's a need, a requirement for my existence and happiness – and I despise the thought that I can't use the actual tools at my disposal. I can't find any software for it! It's good for practising, but I need to do a little more than that.
Aeons ago, my parents purchased a Casio Privia PX300 electric piano for me.
