Disklavier Mk IV Hard drive has crashed

Disklavier Mk IV Hard drive has crashed

2017-10-16 by cheetham@...

I can't start the Disklavier as it will no longer boot. I live in a small village at least 3 hours drive from the nearest dealer in NC. Do I have any options besides buying an expensive new drive from Yamaha or having an expensive technician visit from Raleigh NC?


I know I should have followed instructions some years ago to upgrade to a SSD, but it never seemed to be priority (and seemed quite involved).


Many Thanks in advance for any replies

Good evening, everyone.

Cheetham, I recommend that you call Yamaha Piano Service: (800) 854-1569 between 8:30-5:00 PST. 

They can walk you through troubleshooting options and help you figure out what to do.

Regards,
PianoBench
