Re: Roland E-20 synthesiser keyboard

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with this. Two of the keys do not produce any sound and one of the keys (approximately in the middle) seems to be sticking up about 8 mm proud of the other keys. Although I am from an electronics background (TVand Video servicing) I have never had any dealings with one of these before. If anyone can point me in the right direction for a workshop service manual or has any tips I would really appreciate it! I have spent a couple of hours googling but all I can find is that it was manufactured in 1988 or thereabouts. I found how to do the factory reset but this didnt do anything, and also got the user manual. Thanks in advance for any help.

I expect you're going to have to open it up. Since you already have one strictly mechanical issue with the keyboard--the misplaced key--I think it's reasonable to at least suspect mechanical issues with the other two. In any case, it's going to have to come open to fix the one key; so repost if you can't figure out the problem with the other two *after* you've looked inside.
