Disklavier

While it can be many things, the same happened to me and I will tell you what it was in my case - the floppy disk drive!  It literally burned up.

Sniff at the drive bay opening for a VERY strong oder.  I also have an older (but wonderful) upright.  I replaced the drive and all is back to normal.  It took more than a week for the smell to get out of the piano!
