Re: [CZsynth] CZ-101 Replacing Power Jack

2008-03-02 by Simon Beck

If you haven't been using a genuine Casio power supply, the slight difference in plug sizes (we're talking fractions of a millimeter!) can make for an unreliable connection or even damage the socket. I found this from experience, on my WK-3000. I had to have the socket replaced, and even then it only became 100% reliable when I finally (in desparation) forked out for a proper Casio power supply. Now it's rock-solid, but at a price.

  Subject: [CZsynth] CZ-101 Replacing Power Jack


  Hello!

  Can anyone lend any expertise to me for a moment? The power jack on my CZ-101 has took 
  a turn towards the flaky. I have to wiggle the connector/press it in the right direction for my 
  CZ to power up. I was thinking about replacing it. I am an amateur at the soldering iron, is 
  this a job that I could do myself? Is there a different fix beyond just replacing it? 

  Thanks in advance,
  dave
