#Korg m1 replacement battery Activator

New battery and one of the best keyboards one can have. Did not try teflon-lubricants that may be the better choice in the long run (out of stock). Actually KlГјberpaste, which is also used for VCR or tape-deck repairs, made it. Took an ivory key with grease on it and went to some electronic and modelling shops to hear what they would recommend. Spent a long time looking for the right lubricant.

Of course, I had to remove the activator strip for this, so why not do it right now ?Д¬leaned the keyboard and fussily removed the sticky old grease. Thank god, they did not break and I had a fair chance to fix it.

This takes more time, but activators are easily damaged while working on the keys.вЂњ DidnвЂ™t believe this and thus had to pay my bill: Later, while re-fixing the keys, there were three activators bent off.

Meanwhile put the keyboard onto the table and removed the fixing strip. The lubricant does itвЂ™s job if you deeply strike the keyboard bending the keys to the left or right. After cleaning the keyboard it slightly worked without any grease as there is nothing in it to rub inherently. I have learned that it is not just the lubricant getting sticky which then causes problems but the lubricant combined with the dust & dirt getting stuck even worse then in the mechanism. The action feeling is produced by the combination of a spring in the middle and a lead weight on the inner front. The key is hanging on a small plastic clamp on the bottom side. Basically it all works without the grease. Thought the fridge would be a nice background. The keyboard after being removed without any hurts. Lots of screws lying around well assorted for later reassembly. Again decided to strictly avoid static electricity. The aftertouch board and a closer look on the activator strip.

The CPU board had to be removed to get the keyboard out.

It had to be removed to get the keyboard out. Decided to avoid static electricity and sat down to have a coffee and meditate. Removed the bottom plate and looked at tons of printed circuit boards. Unplugged the power cable and put the 01/W on a thick cloth to prevent damage on the panel. Recently the battery went low and I decided to get rid of the problems by fixing them myself. About four years ago some keys moved more and more sluggishly until they finally got stuck every now and then. Since then there were many hours playing the instrument on stage and at home. Got the 01/W in 1992 as the winner of the monthly Keyboards Give-Away.
