    Hi Kays. I have a DW6000 that was damaged when plugged into wrong supply so your PSU discussion was very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

      Oh cool...glad you found it useful. I'm planning a future video where I discuss some of the most common failure points in these types of synths (and most of them are pretty simple stuff).

    If I may give you an advice, DON'T put circuit boards over your keyboards (panel and keys), watching your previous videos I noticed that you tend to do that. As you already know PCBs are full of pointy solder joints on the bottom, where the components' pins are, one bad move and you would end scratching your precious instrument. And if the device is not yours but one you're repairing for another person, that's gonna be a very, very big problem.
    If you have to do that, put something like old newspapers underneath the PCB so that it doesn't touch the surface you're putting it on, and you're good to go. Preferreably don't use plasticky things like bags, bubblewrap, etc as plastics often tend to build electrostatic charges which are bad for ICs.

    I love your video, but the background
    "music" is *very* annoying.
    ( but not the one when you did the
    sped up soldering. )
    Just my opinion, for what its worth.

      I will turn down the music level in Part 2 so that hopefully it's less annoying.
