Disklavier

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would let you know that the MK4 uses a standard ATX PSU. 

My Disklavier MK4 would not turn on all of a sudden... stone dead. Funny enough the fuse was blown, this from my extensive computer experience is bad news for the PSU, most ATX power supplies die at some stage....these are also made in China so don't count on them lasting more than 5 years! Anyway so I reaplced the fuse (for a laugh) and it blew with a nice bang haha. 

So anyway, I ordered a replacment PSU from yamaha and as expcted a stupid price of $481 plus 4 weeks wait for delivery...

I can't live without my piano for that long so I researched the original PSU, and funny enough it's just a standard PC ATX. So my piano is now running off a standard ATX PSU (it looks a bit silly with an extra box haning out etc but it works hehe).

It's rather weak that Yamaha only give 1 year warranty for 'all electronic  parts' and the real piano 10 years... but oh well.

Cheers,

Philip
