Is there a way to replace the settings key pads?

I have owned a Casio WK-1800 keyboard for about 10-12 years. Some of the setting keys (Voice selection, Rhythm Selection, tempo, transposition, etc.) are not making good contact when pressed. They sometimes work if held in place for several seconds, or if I keep moving it when pressing

These pads can be replaced ( providing Casio still have spare parts ) There are a lot of screws to undo to get inside the keyboard, then remove any PCB above the pad, replace and reassemble.

SOURCE: My WK- 3700 Casio keyboard is malfunctioning.

One portion of the key scanning matrix has gone bad. First thing is to clean the contacts with 99% isoprophyl alcohol. These USUALLY consist of traces on a circuit board that conductive rubber "pills" under silicone rubber domes are pressed down. Each note usually has two contacts, one closes before the other. This creates "velocity" measurement for the key. IF ONE of the contacts for a key doesn't work, the velocity can detect that the note has actuated, but no release occurs.

This would be on the "STROBE" line for either the first or second contact for THE OCTAVE you have problem with. There are disconnect diodes that prevent sneak paths.

You could have one bad diode, a crack in the circuit board, or a bad connection to the keyswitch board.

SOURCE: Need replacement key set for Casio LK-110

You would need to call casio for such parts or go to a part store which by googling it you can find the parts for this unit.

Some keys are not functioning properly and some of the keys have been breaking the chord rythms

This repair is probably beyond the DIY class of repairs. Best to take to a shop for repair.

Thanks for the information on cleaning the contacts. I had all of the screws out to day but could NOT get to the contacts. I do NOT want to break the plastic case so how do you get to the contacts?

The contacts are under the keys, about halfway from the front of the white keys to the back of the key., There are several different key types for Casio keyboards. USUALLY the keys are either in blocks or individual. Here is a manual for a Casio, and while it is NOT your model, your keyboard will be very close.

There is an exploded voew on page 16 of the key assembly.

I fixed the dead keys on my Casio WK-200 keyboard. Now some...

Most of these have VELOCITY sensing and that involves two contacts per note. If the velocity sense on those notes is somehow not working, broken wire or trace on the board or short that MIGHT cause your problem.

Want to connect to my Vista PC but...

Have you tried signing on to your computer as the administrator? I looked at the support pages at Casio and saw how confusing they are. Look at page: http://support.casio.com/information.php?rgn=5&cid=008&pid=114 and page: http://support.casio.com/information.php?rgn=5&cid=009&pid=115. Pay attention to the red lettering. The computer might be considered as the midi out device and the keyboard as the midi in device or the other way around, I'm not sure. Pretend its a telephone conversation with one person talking and the other person replying. I don't know if this helps but you can also try tech support at Sweetwater Sound (800)222-4700.

SMF converter for wk-500, Does it exist?

No.

I have a Wk-8000 & a CDP-200R, the later is the same as wk-500 but with 88 weighted hammer keys.

Since wk-500 can play SMF (Midi 0 & 1) format directly from a SD card and there is enough polyphony to play anything, I don't find any real reason to convert SMF to any "Casio Format". Just get a 2GB SD card and put your SMF files in the MUSDAT folder for the SD CARD using your PC/MAC.
