How do I fix a Roland Digital Piano FP-8 that has refused to play sounds despite the fact that it displays lights?

I have a Roland FP-8 that I used for performances. I recently noticed that it doesn't play again. The display lights up normal, and the buttons work and light up, but no sound from any function. I even tried a 'reset' of it and that didn't help. Is there anyone out there who's got any idea? I hope my mainboard is not faulty?

If everything lights up and responds to button pushes like normal, and you've done a hard reset as described in the manual, check to see if you have sound out of the headphone jack. It's most likely not a user serviceable problem and will need to go to the shop, but it will probably be the output amp rather than the main board.

How do I change electolytic coupling caps for a Roland FP-8 Piano?

Replacing the electrolytic capacitors in this keyboard would require you to be somewhat experienced in electronic soldering, especially the surface mount electrolytics. You should be able to find how-to videos on YouTube if you are curious. You also probably do not need a service manual. The values of the capacitors should be printed directly on them. Replace them all. Replacements can be ordered from Mouser. BUT, I suggest at least bringing in a friend that has experience with these types of repairs. These circuit boards are not designed for inexperienced soldering!

Hi where can i get a service manual for an fp-8 roland digital piano?

Here's a link to the Owner's Manual
for a service manual, you're probably going to have to contact Roland directly, since they don't even list the fp-8 on their website. Service manuals for their other products only run about five bucks for a hard copy, i believe. I'm sure you can get to the right place through here: http://www.rolandus.com/corporate/contact_us/

I have a Roland FP 1 digital piano, serial #AL21141N. It has gradually quit putting out sound through the speakers. At the onset of the problem, I could fit it by jiggling the 1/4" speaker plugs,...

I first would suspect the switches on the eadphone jack. Normally these cut off the speakers when headphones are plugged in. These jacks and the switches are really weak, poorly made, and easily broken, especially if headphone cord gets yanked.

I have a Roland HP 101 digital piano however certain dont sound

White spirit is NOT what you should use. Mineral spirit leaves a residue film.

Use 99% isoprophyl alcohol.

ALSO inspect the contactboard for cracks by candeling with bright light behind it.

Key won't come back up on Roland digital piano

Roland FP is a nice keyboard but has a known problem on cracking key weights. There is a counter weight under each key to push the key upward. There are two sizes of weight beams, longer one for white keys and shorter one for black keys. Roland did not make the original weight beams strong enough to last. They will crack and eventually break. When it happens, the key will stay down. Fortunately, they can be easily replaced.

Roland FP-8 has 4 black screws at the bottom on each side end. Remove the screws, flip the ends up and expose the interior. Near the hinge of the problematic key, carefully ply open the hinge tabs and remove the key from the hinge. You will find a weight beam under the key. Remove and inspect the weight. There should be a metal wrapped in a plastic beam. If the metal part is missing, find the missing part and replace with a new beam. You can order weight beams from Roland. It costs about $10 each plus shipping. Put everything back in the reversed order.
