Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

Daniel,
These Korg keyboards (Poly 800, DW6000, 8000, etc.) all use a Panasonic-made keyboard which has the spring-loaded keys resting on top of a springy rubber dome-like device with a carbon disk in it which compresses and touches the PC board contacts under it to make the sounds. Either the carbon disk is dirty or the rubber dome could be damaged in some way. I have a Poly 800II that had a crushed rubber piece under one of the black keys which I had to fix by pulling a similar one off of a crappy Casio keyboard and gluing it in place. See this web page for information on cleaning your DW8000:

They are pretty easy to take apart- don't be afraid, just do it! I'm pullin for ya! Happy plinking.-JIM

keys just don't respond very well, and one of them doesn' respond at all. 
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just dirt in the contacts or 
something? How could I fix it?
thanks,
Daniel
