I have an axiom 61 keyboard (first generation I think) which I bought new, but the guy who owned the shop had played on it for a few months he said, so there was 7 months of warrantee left on it. I've played it for a year. Now the C# and G keys have ALL stopped working. Yes, in every octave. It has not been bumped, spilt liquid on or played excessively hard at all. This morning it worked in a gig. This afternoon it doesn't. No software updates have been downloaded inbetween. Any idea how to fix this, or what level or expert can. I have no warrantee now as I've said and live far from most electronics repair shops. Many forums said this has happened to others but didn't tell me how to repair it. One forum said open it up and reseat the jumper cables. Huh? Not an electronics expert here. Thanks in advance for any help. Aidan.

Does your keyboard have a "MIDI OUT" port? If yes, then
there is a selection to choose between USB or MIDI OUT port.
For my M-AUDIO oxygen 61 (silver), I must press the [Advanced] button then Note F3 on the music keys manual to toggle the MIDI-OUT.
If set to INT, it will not sent via USB. If set to USB it will not send via MIDI-OUT port. To use MIDI-OUT port I need external 12V DC adapter.

some rhythms have only accompaniment in it. This is not a malfunction I think. And What about this ? This is my problem with casio ctk 7000.. Can you try on the keyboard ? : Hello. I bought a Casio keyboard CTK 7000 two months ago. Firstly I did not notice the problem. But a few days ago I perceived this malfunction; Sometimes when I hit the "INTRO" button during any default (Not user) rhyhms and accompaniment plays, the playing chord is jumping to C chord. For example; When the accompanimet is playing Am chord and I push the "INTRO" button, the keyboard changes the "Am" chord to "C" chord automatically. It always happens when I hit the INTRO button at the just beginning of the measure but not at the middle of the measure. Its troublesome for me, specially during live performance. Can you help and give information about this problem? Thank you very much already now.

Where do you see the error about USB, on the Axiom display or on your computer? Can you give me the exact error? Is the Axiom connected directly into the computer or into a USB hub? (My Axiom 49 only works connected directly) Try restarting both the computer AND the Axiom with ONLY the Axiom plugged in.

The AXIOM SHOULD turn on with just the wall wart adapter so you HAVE A PROBLEM.

First thing is to check the adapter that it is the correct one. It should be a 12 VDC 1 amp unit with positive center pin output.

Common adapters for pedals WILL NOT WORK.

Assuming you have the correct adapter, VERIFY the connector is plugged fully in the AXIOM.

use on screen keyboard and type your keys if this work then it is hardware problem if not then it is a virus scan it

take it apart, wipe up any remaining water and let it air dry for 24hrs. Put it back tgether and see if it works. If it does you're lucky, if not start taking apart your wallet to fix it. HTH.

I just did a quick search and came up empty...I may be wrong about the actual shop/store name...I sometimes associated shops through ownership instead of what the name on the door was, because many shops are owned by one person but have bought out other shops. Like the Volvo shop in Amityville is owned by the same guy that owns the Land Rover shop up on the North shore almost opposite Amityville and also the one in South Hampton.
I think the shop I was thinking of is in Valley stream. Generally speaking the further away you get from New York City, the more honest the shops get. Labor prices are scary high though in all of them. Personally I think all those cars are over -rated, Accuras are pretty much overgrown hondas. But, what do you expect from a Jeep guy? I re-read your post to see if I could offer any insight to the cars problems but aside from the possibility of a vacuum leak somewhere and maybe a lifter hanging up, I won't even try to guess at the scraping noise. I stress to everyone that asks for mechanical help the importance of testing. Yours is a good example of why "remote control" diagnosis is sometimes nearly impossible. If I was working on your vehicle I'd need to do some testing and probing before coming up with anything definitive. so, guessing is a "shot in the dark"
You may be able to find a smaller shop with specialists who have left dealerships and started out on their own. Check with people you know and see if anyone knows of such a shop and has used them. I ran a shop some years ago and we took in just about anything that rolled. My guys were all specialists, and "fugitives" from dealerships. I found that by limiting stupid rules that restricted creativity and thought, I could turn these guys loose on anything and they would fix it! Hope you can find a shop like that...There are still a few around!
Good Luck!!.

Common problem with poor quality parts, the regulator is the problem, the generator is working other wise you would not have fried the wiring, you answered your own question. someone telling porkies to get more money from unsuspecting client?
The regulator controls the voltage not the generator, the generator only supplys the voltage it cannot overcharge unless the regulator is not working properly, simple!

Does the black line record on the tape? When you play back on a TV/Computer can you still see the black line. If you do that would be the image sensor.
Good luck!!

How can I check transmission fluid on a 2002 Axiom - dipstick!
