Cracking the case...

Cracking the case...

2005-09-24 by mckewan5

Hi fellow K5m users...
I want to open up the case of my K5m to fix those pesky "stiff" button problems that 
seems to be the norm with Kawai synths. Has anyone in this group opened up their rack or 
knows of anything to watch out for. I've undone all the visble screws but the case wouldn't 
open - and I'm not going to force it either, sod's law something will fall out.. cheeers for 
any tips.

I'm no K5m expert but I think I saw how to do it on
kfuenf.org .

The K5 is a lot easier : You remove two screws each
sides and lift the top (attached with hinges).

Often, with rackmounts, you either have to slide the
cover, or to pull each sides and lift it.
