    However, if it just doesn't work *sometimes* I'd just spray some contact spray or put a drop of isopropyl alcohol in it first, then leave it for a couple of hours to dry off before you try it. Also, when you spray it, try pushing it a few dozen times. I think that's going to solve the problem. Maybe you won't need to buy a new one. :wink:

    Have a great day, mate! :mates:

    Yamaha service centers or Yamaha direct sell all replacement parts and diagrams if needed.

    As a temporary solution, maybe ...

    Features

    Multi platform (OS X, Windows or Linux) and multi format (VST, soon AU and others that I don't use); by using JUCE
    The sound engine music-synthesizer-for-android is closely modeled on the original DX7 characteristics
    144 DAW automatable DX7 parameters available from one single panel
    Fully supports DX7 input and output Sysex messages; including controller change. This means that you can use this with a native DX7/TX7 as a patch editor and sysex manager
    Each operator have a realtime VU meter to know which one is active
    Can load/save any DX7/TX7 sysex programs. It is also possible to save a single program into a different sysex file.

    It`s for free, of course.

    Call Syntaur. Talk to a real person. Explain your problem. If they don't have a solution and/or parts you need, I'll be surprised. They seem to know more about certain brands, keyboards, and "real world" problems than the manufacturers. *yes*
