Thanks very much for this demonstration. Recently this problem occurred with my P-95 when I powered it off then back on again (after only a few seconds). It just stopped making sound. Of course I was quite baffled. I then discovered your video and nervously performed the same procedure. Thankfully it is working again! I am very impressed by your troubleshooting skills. I don't know how you were able to identify those 2 capacitors as being the culprit. Amazing. Side note: I've noticed this instrument is electrically sensitive to high humidity.
Hey thanks for reporting on your experience and your findings, truly!! I feel like this is the real purpose of UA-cam/The Internet in general. This keyboard is long gone from my life, I don't even remember how I got to the point where i learned it was those 2 capacitors, BUT I do remember spending a LONG time searching/reading through forum posts related to the keyboard. And then I spent a LONG time taking the screws out, putting the screws back in, taking the screws out again... So I thought I could take that (maybe) 1+ hours of scouring the internet (a skill that I'm pretty good at) and consolidate it down to 2 minutes so somebody else doesn't have to. But I can't take credit for the troubleshooting bit! Although, every single time you take something apart you get better at troubleshooting. Thanks again for posting your experience, and I'm really proud of you for fixing it, for what it's worth!
It fucking worked I'm gonna order some new caps thank you omg thx Edit: It worked, I replaced the caps and it worked Also when he says "unplug it and plug it back in", he means the fucking white chord with the little cables, near the capacitors I know it's obvious but I'm dumb so I kinda panicked, so I'm just gonna clarify what he meant Also yeah obviously try to get 100uf 16V capacitors, but if the voltage is a little higher it should work just fine (I got 25V) OH MY GOD HOW MANY FUCKING SCREWS, I couldn't find a screwdriver so I used a skate tool for half of the screws💀💀 (then I found a screwdriver and used that like a normal fucking human)
haha HELL YEAH man! Thanks for reporting back, and for clarifying that white plug business. And yeah 100% those screws are too much, I bought a drill from goodwill after taking it apart and putting it back together 4 times with screwdrivers, takes forever.
Dude the screws! Found a p85b on the side of the road, powers on, no sound. Before I came here I took it apart to check for water damage. I noticed like 4 screws were missing from one end of the keyboard. Someone had started trying to fix it, AND JUST GAVE UP AFTER RECOGNIZING A SISYPHEAN EFFORT!!! It must be 40 screws at least
Hi, I have a Yamaha S08 with this problem (no sound from the keys - but the demo sounds work; so I'm hopeful about this fix). I haven't cracked it open yet, but do you think the logic board will be similar? Just asking because I'm not a tech. Also, when I try it, are there any "tips/tricks" to getting the logic board out so I can get to the solder of the caps?
@potptvpatsonthepulse5701 Any solving on my end? My old capd worked but they started leaking corrosion, I installed the same ones but modern, same polarity but no sound unless I put back the old ones. I replaced the caps with another pair of new onrs but same issue.
Hello, thank you! I think I have the same problem but I can't find anyone in my city to come help me. Do you think I can open my piano and unplug the wire for ever ?
I am having the same issue, but when I unplug and replug in the headphone amp connector the keyboard still doesn't work. Do you think it's still those same capacitors or is it possible it is different capacitors? None of them look bad with the eye but the keyboard powers on and there is no audio, like yours. I'm ordering caps tomorrow and will try replacing them. This is my personal keyboard kept in my office, it just suddenly stopped working.
Excellent! The tip about removing and replacing the connection is fabulous. Your solution works perfectly...Thank you!

beautiful info bro. thanks so much
Thank you, that is my problem
Thank you for your effort. I have this problem and so will try to replace the capacitors :-)
And it worked! Many thanks for saving our keyboard!
@@CZWhitek that's fantastic! and thanks for reporting back
Thanks man) it’s what I needed))
LIKE YOUR STYLE
It fucking worked I'm gonna order some new caps thank you omg thx
Edit: It worked, I replaced the caps and it worked
Also when he says "unplug it and plug it back in", he means the fucking white chord with the little cables, near the capacitors
I know it's obvious but I'm dumb so I kinda panicked, so I'm just gonna clarify what he meant
Also yeah obviously try to get 100uf 16V capacitors, but if the voltage is a little higher it should work just fine (I got 25V)

Do I need a soldering iron to replace the capacitors? My daughters has the same problem
yes definitely, even a cheapo $6 one should do the job though
Thanks for your reply, this exact same thing has happened to us. Thanks also for the video
@@JBoardie heck yeah, this is what youTube is for!
Would this work on my Yamaha P-85? I'm having the same issue with it
I don't see why not?!! Try and and tell us, please!
Hi Pat! Can you tell me what you replaced the original capacitors with? I can’t find the original online. Thank you very much!
any 100uF capacitor that is rated for 16volts or higher will work. it's also ok to experiment with slightly higher capacitor values.

Hello, thank you! I think I have the same problem but I can't find anyone in my city to come help me. Do you think I can open my piano and unplug the wire for ever ?
hello No, i Do Not think that will solve the problem permanently. But you could always try and share what you learned here
Where are you located?

i do think you should try changing those 2 caps before anything else. report back if it doesn't work after that!
My piano is only outputting sound from the R side, both on the speakers and on the headphones...
Here to
have ya'll solved this yet? have you tried changing those 2 capacitors and it still doesn't work?@@leandroaraujo4401
It was the volume slider potentiometer that was defective, I replaced it and fixed it.@@potptvpatsonthepulse5701
My daughter has one of these and it has died upon us. So now I know what to do. Crossing fingers.
Did it work?
Come on did it work?!
