Did all those keys fail at once? If so, it's likely a simple fix, eg a single broken wire. Keys are usually wired on a grid array eg 25 columns x 3 rows.Pressing a key eg connects the 17th column to the 2nd row so the device knows which key it was. So if there is a broken wire to one of the rows, 1/3 of the keys will suddenly stop working.

Check your batteries and clean the terminals of them.

The button contacts MAY be the conductive rubber type. These you clean both the board and the contact pills with 99% isoprophyl alcohol.

Finding service on this unit may be difficult an uneconomical.

SOURCE: Casiotone MT-220 keyboard power cord

I would inspect the unit for corrosion on battery terminals AND the power connector. The connector has a switch when a cord is plugged in, and if this switch doesn't work (they get bent) the unit will not work on batteries.
Best source of power adapters is often your local thrift store.
MATCH the voltage and whether it is AC or DC required AND the polarity if the pin is + or -.
Get one with enough current.

Testimonial: "Wow thanks for the quick and detailed answer. I will give this stuff a try and let you know how it goes. Thanks!"

SOURCE: My radio shack MD-1800 Electric Piano, some piano keys got wet some piano keys work and some keys do not work

Try using Isopropyl Alcohol on the keys, pour some gently around the keys that are not working. (Make sure the unit is unplugged from power first) If you can get a can of compressed air you can blow out the keys and dry them out. If not let the unit dry out overnight. Maybe put a fan near it.

Where can I buy a plug for a Casiotone, MT-540/CT-460?

NewEgg

To verify, often the voltage is stamped on the back of the keyboard, near the power jack. Should say 9V

Casiotone 301

HI, Your unit is very old and it can be repaired. Look for someone who does vintage synthesizer repair. John, Syntronics.

Casiotone ct630

I haven't been able to find documentation to be sure if the CT-630 has MIDI ports on it (my guess is no, but please check). If it does, you can get something like the Yamaha UX16 USB MIDI Interface cable to connect the keyboard to a PC.
If not, sorry, it seems the only thing you could do is record the audio output.

I am a piano tech, have a Korg MT-1200 chromatic tuner - have to depress the buttons several times for the key to change - also the power wants to shut off whenever it feels like. Can anyone repair it?...

I have a Technics digital piano with 1 dead key. The piano is about 10 years old and in great shape. The key stopped working after my toddler started banging on the keyboard. Is this fixable?

If your piano is the same as mine, there is a rubber membrane with contacts imbedded in it that sits on top of a circuit board. The key pushes the contact in the membrane onto the contact causing a note on. What happens is the cylindrical part of the membrane that holds the contact can get torn and the contact will no longer travel in a straight line to trigger the note. The entire membrane strip has to be replaced. The strip on my piano was discontinued and I had to manufacture one from an extra Roland membrane that had some bad contacts in it. You will have to contact Technicsat www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/PNAEndecaSearchCmd for support. If you don't feel comfortable tackling the repair yourself consult a good piano tuner/repair place in your area for advice.
