metromike Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi Everyone...been lurking for a while getting useful/fun information as usual. Quick question: I have a Kronos 61 (for about a year now). I noticed the other day what sounds like a loose screw floating around inside the board when I move it. You can hear it if you tilt the board from side to side - it is definetly metallic. The board seems to be working fine, but I need to address this. Should I attempt to open it myself? or try to take it somewhere? Anyone experience anything like this or have any thoughts? Thank you!!!

ITGITC Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 metromike, I would consider getting this loose screw out of the synth ASAP as it could short other components. Should you attempt this yourself? Perhaps. Do you have experience opening synths or other keyboards? How accessible are the screws? Can you find any help on the 'net? ...diagrams / photos / "How-To" articles. I would certainly do the research before I took it in for service. And sure, I would probably try to open it up. But I've been doing this type of thing for a long time. Good luck.

therealvicz Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Doesn't look too hard to take the bottom off In these pics "Just a tad more attack on the filter, Grandad!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metromike Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Thanks.... I have never opened up a synth before. It has bottom access with a LOT of screws. I suppose it won't hurt to try. I agree, my concern is shorting something out with this screw or whatever it is Gear: Roland RD700, Yamaha MotifES6, Roland Fantom FA76, Roland JP-8000, Roland AX-7, Roland Juno-106.

voxpops Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just try to avoid removing the screws that hold the key/action assembly in place; they are usually situated more toward the front and center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonglow Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I had a similar experience with my Kronos 61. Took it in to the shop and the tech told me it was one of the screws used to hold down the motherboard. I recommend getting it serviced ASAP!
