This could be many things. It is most likely noise from a defective chip in the unit. If sounds are normal except for the hiss, then test if the volume control reduces it. IF not, then problem is in the power amp section. If it does vary the loudness, then problem is likely between the D-A convertor and the volume control.

I would first try to isolate this by cooling selected parts with circuit cooler mist to see if you can find one that reduces the hiss when you cool it... Spray, then wait ten seconds before moving to the next on.

USUALLY semiconductors cause this, but rarely a bad resistor or cap can as well.

Testimonial: "Helped me narrow down the problem. Really appreciate the concise, informed answer. Must be the power amp..."

I was struggling with the same problem with my friend piano. You need to check the module which is plugged near power transistors. I found two bad transistors g109 and q119 (2SA1015). Changing those transistors and remaking soldering joints solved this problem.

My technics sx-px222 digital piano suddenly has no sound but all lights work and i hear a very very slight hum. Fuses look ok. What do you recommend i try next?

Hi,

please check that the volume-down button isn't stuck and therefore forcing the volume of your piano to decrease. You might wiggle the button from side to side if you noticed that it's stuck. If possible, attempt to route the piano sound to an external speaker and see if you receive the same results as you initially did.

Thank you.

Technics sx pr 150 piano Some notes play at low volume

If certain notes on your Technics SX-PR150 digital piano are playing at a lower volume than others, it's possible that there could be a few underlying reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:
  1. Dust and Debris:
    • Check if there is any dust, debris, or foreign objects present around the keys and internal components. Dust or debris could affect the key's action and cause uneven volume levels.
  2. Contact Cleaning:
    • If you're comfortable doing so, you can carefully open the piano and clean the contacts underneath the affected keys. Contacts that have accumulated dirt or oxidation might lead to volume inconsistencies. Use a clean, dry cloth or contact cleaner specifically designed for electronics.
  3. Key Mechanism:
    • Inspect the key mechanism for any signs of physical damage, misalignment, or wear. Damaged or misaligned keys could lead to uneven volume levels.
  4. Sensors and Sensors Board:
    • Digital pianos like the Technics SX-PR150 use sensors to detect key presses and control volume. If a sensor is malfunctioning or damaged, it could result in volume inconsistencies. Check the sensors and their connections for any issues.
  5. Audio Output and Amplification:
    • Check if the issue is specific to the internal speakers or if it also occurs when using headphones or external amplification. If the issue is present across all audio outputs, it might be related to the piano's internal components.
  6. Factory Reset:
    • Perform a factory reset on the piano to restore its settings to default. This can help rule out any software-related issues that might be affecting the volume levels.
  7. Professional Inspection:
    • If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's recommended to seek the assistance of a professional technician who is experienced in repairing digital pianos. They can diagnose the problem accurately and perform any necessary repairs.
Please exercise caution while performing any internal inspections or repairs on your digital piano, especially if you're not experienced in working with electronic equipment. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the process, it's best to seek professional help to avoid causing further damage.

Need repairs on Technics SX-PX103-M Model.

Have you had any luck with your Technics piano? I've got the same piano and Mine does not work either. No lights on the control panel, only red power light comes on. Does yours have any led lights besides the power light that come on? I've investigated and I have learned a lot from this piano. 4 main boards. Im pretty sure I've got it down to one board. Interested in selling me any boards from your Piano??
