Re: [disklavier] MX100 stopped playing?

2015-01-20 by Jeff Joseph

Between the pedals and the key bed there’s a panel with a knob. You just tug it to tilt it out and slide it to one side.
Once inside you can see the power supply board on the bottom right of the piano. You can identify it it by the large power transformer on the right, and a large black capacitor on the left.
There are two cylindrical glass fuses side by side in clips on top of the board.
With the piano unplugged from the wall, you can pop out the fuse from its clip and replace.

Jeff,
Can you please let me know the location of this 7amp fuse for future reference?

I”m happy to report the piano is playing happily again with the simple replacement of a fuse in the power supply.

I’m guessing there was an excess of pedaling in one of the midi files I was playing back.
Thanks Bill!

Thanks Bill,

I would guess the pedal solenoids draw a fair amount of current?

Easy enough to replace.

Jeff,
Possibly just a blown fuse. In the older Disklavier pianos, if they were pushed really hard (lots of keys at once with high velocities) it was fairly common for the 7 amp fuse to blow.

I looked at the power supply and found the 7A fuse is blown , with foil on the glass. Perhaps a capacitor failure ?

Hi,

My MX100 has been cheerfully playing away from its floppy discs and midi connection until the other day. It not will not play from either source. (I thought it was a MIDI issue until I popped in a floppy)

Any thing to troubleshoot?

IS there a silent mode switch?

Jeff
