Roland Juno D Keyboard Keys not sounding

Hello,

I have a Roland Juno D music keyboard which was working fine a year ago when I stopped using it. I plugged it in the other day and 19 of the keys do not sound. Also, some of the other keys play louder than others. I reset the keyboard back to it's original factory state but it still has this fault. Can anyone guide me as to what to do fo fix this?

Many Thanks,

Paul

    Hi , I have this same problem with my own Juno -D .

    More and more keys went over time.. my keyboard was close to a door in the living room (not much space in house) and the first two keys that went were the two closest to the door on the right hand side...this must be some sort of loose connection with the wiring ...however some of these keys have a delayed response with some of the keys..they sound about a second later



    Hope we can find a solution!

    I have just spent 4 hours trying to repair mine! A few years ago when I was gigging with it i noticed one key went, then more and more just kept breaking - no sound.

    I opened it up today and tested the strip cable which did have a broken wire which i may have broken when I took off. I changed the strip cable and hoped that would be it but no. It seemed to be a problem with the actual contacts. I stripped all the keys off and the rubber contacts and found that the gold plate had worn off the contacts on the board to show the under coat of nickel. This would alter the resistance level accross the contacts and throw the calibration out. (Of course I'm not an expert in electronics but thats my guess.) The keyboard is *ucked. Thank you Roland I had only gigged with it for a year.

The problem of the Juno-D is de rubber strips inside under the keysthere are 5 strips, you have to clean this rubber strips with alcohol and clean the board too, this will resolve your problem if you leave the Juno-D without playing for a long period you will get the same problem again. this is a very poor keyboard it,s a pitty that Roland Make so poor keyboard!!!!

I have the answer to repairing the keys for the Juno D.
Contact Repair Kit....
http://www.oaktreeent.com/Roland_Keyboard_Parts_Units.htm
or
http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/20-3890&cid=prodCrossSell
I have a 7 year old Juno D and over time many of the keys stopped playing.. I tried all the cleaning and nothing really helped.
Don't remember how i found out about this but i did the Rubber contact repair kit and it does FIX the problem and according to the directions, it will fix it better than new.
product is made for any electronics using this type of contact. Ex: tv remotes, hand held game controllers etc. IT WORKED.
The keys are like brand new..
I am not a electrician or mechanic and was able to do this, so good luck.. Ok maybe you can help me.
How do i get a volume knob for my Juno D that just stopped working i hear low volume coming out of speakers but the volume knob does not turn it up or down.. and of course maybe that isn't even the problem. if anyone can help.. please do
thanks.

All of Rolands keyboards have the same or similar contact strips. The problem is more to do with the strips than the circuit board. You can clean both and I would recommend using a pencil eraser on the circuit board before the isopropanol. Make sure you check the base of the contact strip "towers" of each key contact as they have a tendency to rip at the base with hard playing and then the strip needs to be replaced. On the older keyboards the parts are getting harder to find. There are independent repair places that source those.Here is a link to one:http://www.oaktreeent.com/Roland_Keyboard_Parts_Units.htm

After several months of being stored i used my roland juno D to find that some of the keys didnt work. I cleaned the rubber contacts etc but they still dont work? and the ones that do are uneven volumes...

Did you clean these contacts with ONLY isoprophyl 99% alcohol and Qtips? If you used another product you may have spoiled the contacts. Also did you clean the circuit board where they contact with the same product?

If you used another cleaner, best to redo your work... quickly... Contact cleaners such as Deoxit and Blue shower destroy this type contact.

When I connect my midi cables to my PC and use Fruity Loops or Mixcraft and I play notes on the Roland Juno D keyboard, some of the notes stick and dont stop playing once released and others are played...

You need to turn off the echo of the MIDI that sends the signals back to the Juno. When near simulataneous MIDI signals are mixed the decoder can receive "partial" messages that re-trigger the notes and then miss the note off commands. If you can't find the setting in the software, disconnect the input to the Juno MIDI while recording it.

The name for the notes that don't stop playing is "Dreaded MIDI Drone". It is caused by multiple note on commands and lost "mating" note off commands.

Also read "c." on page 80 regarding buffer length and "choppy" sounds.

Some keys do not play and it is a relatively new keyboard with little play. I was going to take it apart myself but I need help with that. thanks

I would recommend taking it in to be repaired. If they service Roland products they will have access to any parts it needs. It sounds like the key contacts are damaged or dirty. In either case it is not easy to disassemble the Juno because of the internal wiring. It needs to be reassembled perfectly for it to work properly and it is easy to damage something during disassembly. Hope this helps.

Can I update roland Juno G Old version to new?

Here is the link you need but pay absolute attention to the Please note section in each case as the Juno D LE and the original Juno D are different. If you install the wrong update you will have problems with the keyboard working at all.

Roland juno-d, keys are either too loud or too

Normally you have to clean the conductive rubber "pills" AND the circuit board traces they get pressed down on.

USE ONLY 99% isoprophyl alcohol on Q-Tips to do the cleaning and be gentle.

Use of other product like deoxit and other contact cleaners will wreck the contact material.
