Fixed a broken key on a Casio piano.

Man... Good job! I usually try my best with these kinds of things but fail.

I've been riding the high of fixing it all day.

The best kind of high! I tell people that fixing things is a super power. At least it makes me feel like it.

Nice! I like fixing things but have never had the nerve to open up my digital piano.

Nicely done. I recommend keeping some two part epoxy on hand for projects like this. Epoxies tend to be much stronger than any single part adhesives.

I resoldered the power connector on mine the other day. Not perfect, but it's working again. This of course was after already buying a replacement power cable hoping that was the issue...

It really is! Now I'm tempted to try and see what's wrong with my old guitar amp. I have the feeling that issue is out of my league, though.

Why not try it out? Can't get worse, anyway. Hopefully it's something you can find out with a quick visual examination, like a blown fuse or tube, or maybe a blown capacitor.

Awesome!! That's a nice looking Casio. How old is it?

[djmeas@lemm.ee]

It's a CDP-120 and I think it's 6-7 years old? A neighbor gave it away for free since the key was broken after I told them my son was interested in music.

I'm so glad I was able to fix it! The key is a bit lower than normal after a few days now but still plays well.

I have a huge fear of electricity. Even if I can work on the amp unplugged, I have anxiety even thinking of plugging it back in after an attempted fix. I need to get over it.
