Here is your service manual:

http://elektrotanya.com/korg_x5d_sm.pdf/download.html

Y The Lithium cell is a CR2032-HE2 type.

At the site above, scroll down to "get manual" and click to download the service manual. IGNORE other download links for viewers, etc. This replacement will take a soldering iron... it is NOT in a coin cell holder. In addition, I cannot find the HE2 tab configuration for sale so I suspect you are going to have to make do with a http://www.newark.com/jsp/search/productdetail.jsp?SKU=42M1351 or equivalent which has solder tabs out horizontal. I can't even find what the HE2 type is but I suspect it is the stiff mounting tabs through the board. BE VERY CAREFUL in unsoldering those as it is easy to lift the etch on the board.

    Thanks fredy, But the manual there is for the keyboard X5D. I have the sound module X5DR and the battery is a small flat round and locked in [perhaps solder] .Any help?

  • Fred Yearian Jul 16, 2011

    The manual should be VERY close to that for your unit. I suspect the CR2032-HE2 is one of the cells that has stiff little legs (soldered in) that hold it slightly above the circuit board. You will likely have to make do using a tabbed version and a couple pieces of stiff wire. I could NOT find a source for the cell specified in the parts list. The X5D manual shows the battery position on the board. It should be the same for the R version. It is shown slightly left of center near the back wall of the case. Most of the service manuals are for different versions and the circuitry in a series pretty much is the same.

  • Fred Yearian Jul 16, 2011

    The R is for the Rack Mounted version... the circuitry will be nearly the same in the parts that count... just missing the keyboard panel scanning parts. They often make the boards fit both the Keyboard and Rack versions. They will use the same battery for sure. When unsoldering the battery and clearing the holes one can damage the board... You MIGHT want to evaluate whether you can cut the tabs of the old battery leaving the tabs in the board and solder the new tabs to the old... as it doesn't appear the HE2 tabbed cells are available easily. When cutting the tabs from the old battery use a flush cutter that doesn't apply much pressure during the cutting. Remember the circuit baord is sacred and the battery is expendable so the idea is to get the cell out with no board damage. It is OFTEN better to have just the leads even if you are removing the leads from the board instead of fighting removing the whole battery.

Model x5dr. Does it have a low battery warning?

Maybe because the battery needs to be replaced.

Keeping my x5dr module from changing programs when I change programs on my keyboard

Turn off PROGRAM CHANGE on the module then it will remain on whatever you set it. If you want to selectively do this on certain patches, you'll have to sit down and offer up a plan for exactly how you want it to work before I could comment further.

I HAVE AN KORG i3 AND NEED REPLACE THE INTERNAL BATTERY BUT I DONT WHERE IS

It is inside the unit. You will need to open it up. The battery is flat like a quarter. Sometimes it is inserted under a cover. Look carefully, you will find it.

I have a korg n1 and when I turn it on the display screen comes on but no words show up on it I was wondering how to fix it

It sounds like your ROM battery, which the ROM contains and stores the patches for the keyboard, has gone completely dead and your keyboard is dead in the water. However, if you can get a MIDI to USB converter and get the battery changed, then you can reload the patches back onto the keyboard.

I have worked on a Korg M1 Workstation and have had to replace the battery(CR2032) and then had to run a program called "MIDI-OX" which also gave me access to the patches needed in order to restore the keyboard to factory patch settings.

http://www.midiox.com/

Take a look at this AFTER you have gotten the battery replaced. I will tell you that replacing most batteries is a very intricate job as, the bottom of the keyboard has to be removed, as well as a lot of the internal boards. I had to draw a diagram and mark certain pieces so I would know where they went and in what order they have to be re-attached. My advice is take it to someone who works on electronics unless you want to DIY (not recommended) to get the battery replaced.

Hope this helps.

My X5d displayed "05 31 1995" then stopped functioning..what shall i do?

That sounds like a manufacture date being flashed. Have you checked the battery? If you can't backup first, all your changes (custom sounds) will be lost, but that might be what you are looking at. Replace the battery, or have a service center do so. You'll want to reset after.

Try ROM check first.

Initialization: Hold Page + and Page - while turning it on.
Preload: Global Screen 5A, then select "OK".
ROM Check: Hold Edit and Global/Multi while turning it on.

Korg sp-250 randomly changes the voicing

When was the last time you changed the batteries? You may have gotten a pack of expired batteries the last time you replaced them. I suggest changing batteries.Jimmy

I dont know how to replace the internal battery on a Korg M1

You should be able to remove the top cover off your keyboard and see the quarter-size battery mounted in a holder on one of the circuit boards.
I don't recall the exact location on this particular model, but once you've located it, all you have to do is slide it out from under the contact spring that holds it in place and slide a new one in.
You'll want to make the swap fairly quickly as some models can lose their memory settings if battery power is lost for a relatively short amount of time.
