No sound (except very faint)

My Yamaha EL-25 suddenly quit the other day. By "quit", I mean a loud pop was heard in the speakers, and after that, only VERY FAINT sound. The loss of sound is on both keyboards and the pedalboard... EXCEPT that rhythm (when used) still comes through loud and clear (whether on pedal or lower keyboard).

Sounds like either a blown amp circuit or you simply blew out the speakers, amp circuit is most likely.

There is no need for a manual. It is so easy to operate because it is designed for easy opeating. If you need a manual to operate the PSR-510 then you really won't be able to operate it even after studying the manual. But here it is just in case you can by some miracle!

Yep, a key contact has got contaminated... You have to disassemble the unit to expose the keys.

You have to remove the offending key which is OFTEN tied to a bunch of keys. Under the keys you will find strips of silicon rubber with little domes sticking up. Under the domes are two contacts, either two black conductive rubber or sometimes a ring with a pill in the middle. These contact circuit traces with a black coating on the board under the keys. Clean the pills AND the circuit traces GENTLY with ONLY 99% isoprophyl alcohol. Reassemble the keys and the unit.

Be very careful handling, especially the ribbon cables between teh upper and lower halves of the unit.

Note there are TWO contacts per key which one closes before the other and that is how the key velocity is measured by the processor.

Most PROBABLE is the output jack either has been broken (common due to mishandling and accidents with cables such as stepping on the plug while plugged into the pedal) or the soldering of the jack in the pedal has broken loose. Less common is a circuit board crack in the vicinity of the jack. Open pedal and inspect for the above suggestions.

SOURCE: Yamaha PSR-340 keyboard is not

Hi Aspro_uk,

If your Yamaha PSR-430 wont work, it might caused by recent changes on the setting or configuration. The easiest way to correct the issue is to do a factory reset. Please follow the steps below on how to reset the settings of Yamaha PSR-430.

Note: All stored data like User styles, Registration, Multipads, User songs, MIDI setting and User voices will be deleted during the process. I recommend to create a back up before executing the Factory Reset. This can be done by performing a ''Bulk Dump'' to an external MIDI storage device or by saving the user-stored data to a floppy disk via the internal disk drive of the keyboard.

1. Turn off the keyboard completely.

2. Now, press and hold down the rightmost white key (C) while turning ON the keyboard.

3. Once the power is ON, please release the key.

4. The keyboard will reinitialize to the original factory settings.

-->For additional information and guide, please download the user manual below.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

you CANNOT do this connection!!! Period !!! It will not work electronically The keyboards are fighting eachother as each is driving audio into the WYE. If you want to control both levels you need to use a controller that has two separate controls. At one point such a device was made but not sure if they still are... Here is a candidate:

Yamaha psr.e333,when the style button is on to play the background music coming as very faint sound. All the other sounds are working fine.

Hi

the first thing to try is a factory reset

hold down the highest note while you turn the keyboard on.
once it has started up try again.

if there is only a faint sound when played it could be that the main amplifier has failed or that the speakers have become unplugged from the power board.

does it work on headphones correctly, if it does it points to an amplifier problem.

report back if the reset works

Hi I have a Yamaha electrone el 15, there is no sound from the 2 keyboards but the percussion sounds all play and can get drum sounds on the bottom keyboard but no sounds when the organ is selected,

There could be a few reasons why your Yamaha Electone EL-15 isn't producing sound when the organ setting is selected. Here are a few things to check:
  1. Make sure the volume is turned up on the keyboard itself and on any external amplifiers or speakers you may be using.
  2. Check the connections between the keyboard and any external amplifiers or speakers. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely at both ends.
  3. Make sure the keyboard is in "organ" mode and not in "silent" or "play along" mode.
  4. Check the keyboard settings to ensure that the organ sounds are enabled.
  5. If you are using the keyboard with a computer, make sure the MIDI settings are correct and that the keyboard is being recognized by the computer.
  6. If you have tried all of the above and the keyboard still isn't producing sound, it is possible that there is an issue with the internal sound system. In this case, you may need to have the keyboard serviced by a professional technician.

After hooking up the PA for practice, I heard a loud "pop," then followed by a burn smell, from my Mackie SRM 450 speaker, which I use as a monitor. No sound comes through but static and crackling. Is the...

The pop itself isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a burn smell and the fact that it's only outputting a crackle likely means that the built-in amplifier circuitry has been overloaded. This can happen a few ways:
1) Faulty power, either a bad cord or a bad outlet
2) Plugging the output of a power amplifier into this speaker - because it has a built in amplifier, this speaker only wants a non-powered line input
3) If the Thru output is (accidentally) plugged into anything that provides phantom power, that could overload the circuitry.
4) A short due to liquid or moisture contact - these cabinets are most certainly not waterproof
In any case, the amplifier part of the circuitry IS replaceable. If you're not comfortable buying one and replacing it yourself (I'd recommend eBay), take it to any shop that sells similar items. If you're extremely lucky, it was just a fuse that needs to be replaced, but chances are you'll need to replace the whole amp.

We heard a loud pop... then saw a flash of light set off by the internal speakers. What causes this? Are these speakers out of phase? What's causes this?

These are rated peak 600 Watts... your amp should NOT be bigger than 200 Watts RMS per speaker cabinet driving these to prevent burning out the speakers. The pop MAY have driven the speakers to full excursion and temporarily shorted the speaker voice coil. Test the DC resistance of the speaker... if you find it is under about 3.7 ohms you have damaged the speakers and continued use may damage your amplifier.. Often people will unplug a guitar cable causing a loud pop in the PA system and that CAN damage the speakers if the amp is too big.

I have a Yamaha ydp223 which no longer makes any sound. I can hear sound when I use the headphones, but if I unplug them no sound can be heard.

There is a problem with the electronics between the audio supplied to the headphones and the speakers. Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of circuitry between those. When you plug in the headphones, a switch opens that sends a signal back and forth to the DM board which changes and electrical relay that disconnecs the speakers. There could be any of several failure points on this circuit OR a failure of the power amp or audio to the power amplifier chip that drives the speaker. This is NOT a DIY repair unless one is adept at electronic troubleshooting.

I have a Yamaha ypp 100 keyboard that was sitting idle for awhile. When I turned it on and started to play there was no sound/an extremely faint sound from the speakers.

Try headphones... possibly the switch contacts on the headphone jack which disconnect the speaker when headpones are plugged in. If you can hear via the headphones, check the switch contacts. Also look for a loose cable.

Contacts can oxidize when idle for a long time.

Yamaha pt300. was working fine. Now only makes loud humming noise which doesn't repsond to change in volume. Monitor display shows keys register as being played, but no sound can be heard except loud...

Likely the power adapter has failed if it uses one. Try a new one first.

If half the rectifier blows out, a very impure DC voltage is applied which will be heard in the audio output.

My Guitar Amp Started Squeiling And Now It Is Barely Audible.

There is little or no hope that this can be fixed at home, sorry . If it lights up and you have power and still no sound, it may be simi cooked, not to say it couldn't be fixed. But lots of times these days Tecs want as much to repair as a new one. Balanceit out for a new one , to the repair cost . You may just find a new one is the way to go.But never toss out, junk is someones treasure. good luck DFD
