Hammond SK1 Powers up, Lights up, No sound


KeyTone

Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced this problem and can you suggest anything to correct it. My SK1 powers up and seem fully functional, all LEDs light up, the Display is active, the USB can read a flash drive, the menu's are accessible, but I get no sound output from L/R/or Phones jacks. It worked fine one night, the next day, nothing. The last time it worked it was hooked up through MIDI with a Yamaha ES6. Any help greatly appreciated

Unfortunately none of the sounds are audible from 1/4" L,R,or Phones jacks. I've tried the factory reset also. Also tried loading in firmware through usb, but got the message No Update Found, which I took to mean I have the latest firmware.

This is what the manual says:

 

No sound is produced when the keys are pressed.

  • The MASTER VOLUME is at the minimum setting. --> Adjust the volume with the MASTER VOLUME control.
  • The local control is turned OFF --> Turn the local control ON, if not using an external sequencer or computer. (P. 114 #3)
  • Leslie speaker is connected. --> Line out and Phones jack does not output the sound of rotary channel when the Leslie speaker is connected.

 

So maybe the 8-pin DIN jack is damaged somehow such that the SK-1 thinks there's a Leslie connected?

Does anyone have experience with component level repair on motherboard. Does anyone have a schematic of the motherboard, the drawbar board, and the control board. Hammond does not have these available on they're web site and no authorized repair shop within 200 miles of my house. They only do board level replacement only and want more than $600 for the motherboard and $65/hr to repair it. No commitment on hours needed. And it will cost me about $120 round trip to send it to Illinois to Hammond. I'm not very happy with the options they're offering so Im exploring repairing the unit myself. A schematic would help in a big way.

JMCS where are you?

KeyTone, you might try posting your problem or a link to this thread in the SK1 tips and tricks thread. That's where I see JMcS post most often, if indeed he is able to help. Good luck!
