RE: [disklavier] Re: Disklavier problem - upgrade or fix?

2014-07-10 by Jon Arnold

I’m not that that it is “stuck” but out of a dozen floppies, it will only play ONE of them, where it displays an error with the others. But the others play just fine if I take them down to the local Yamaha dealer.  And the bigger problem is that the one that DOES play is Christmas music….

I've fixed two floppy drives in DKVs by jamming in a floppy really HARD. This seems to unstuck them. Worth a try.

Hey Jon, 

Aside for an upgrade to DKC850 I would advise to buy a small 3.5 diskette cleaning kit.  On my DKV I also use diskettes and every now and then my floppys start failing and by running a cleaning diskette I am good for another 6 months or so.  As diskettes itself these days cleaning kits are not easy to find but still around. 

Greetings.
