tynan Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 A friend of mine gave me one he found in his grandmothers' house, but it won't power up. It looks as though something went wrong with the power adapter and it fried itself. Anybody know whether or not this is fixable?PS: I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I was told it was the "general discussion" area.

backbacon Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I don't know much about them except that I have one and love to play it from time to time! I pretty much just make trippy noises with it and add general mayhem to otherwise acoustic jams.As for your power adapter issues, if you can't find a replacement, I suggest using batteries instead. Don't let that wonderful beast go unplayed any longer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattm Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 it should be fixable, most things electric are but the question is: does it cost more to fix then to just get another one, or even, does it cost more to fix than is worth the trouble?http://cgi.ebay.ca/Casio-SK-1-sampling-keyboard-AS-IS_W0QQitemZ280224992026QQihZ018QQcategoryZ29552QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Don't batteries have a good life on these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kookycanooky Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 if the inside is "fried" then, no, batteries won't help. If it won't power up with fresh batteries then something is wrong internally. If you are tech-savy and alright with a soldering gun, open it up and look for visual clues of malfunction. beyond that these are NOT worth fixing. If no sound but powers up, try with headphones. Radioshack's canadian brand "Realistic" also makes this exact model. Value village and ebay will probably fetch one for under $20. Adaptors are really easy to come by, just read the input voltage and amps and look for one at value village. there are lots of resources for this keyboard on the web. goodluck!
