Alberttti Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Hello.🙋 Can someone please HELP me about my Hammond XK-1?🙏 I replaced the battery and the keys have probably lost all settings and don't play at all. Only the display is lit and after trying to reset (holding rec/jump + power on), nothing appeared. Is there no other solution, or does anyone have a sysex file I can upload via computer/midi? I'm unhappy about this and would hate for them to be non-functional. THANKS A LOT!!!🙏🙏🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzjazz Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I think you should just contact Hammond service in Chicago. 1 Quote www.dazzjazz.com PhD in Jazz Organ Improvisation.

Delaware Dave Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 when i had my XM2 module (xk1 in a rack) i replaced the battery. I had the replacement battery ready to go and swapped the batteries in a matter of seconds (3 at the most). i lost nothing in the process. sounds like your battery swap wasnt quick and you may have lost the presets stored. not sure why though that the keyboard doesnt work at all as it should. probably need to contact a service center as previously recommended by someone else.

KuruPrionz Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Make sure the battery is in the correct orientation. Batteries are DC (direct current which means one end is positive (+) and the other is negative (-). I wouldn't say something this incredibly simple except I am guilty as charged (ha! battery pun!!) and no damage was done. When I flipped the battery, the item in question worked as it should. So at the very least, double check your work. Good luck!!! Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is.
