Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Casio CZ1 keyboard issue, please help me

Your description is not quite exact... I think it's you who should  
have an idea what happened :-) There's always some reason for such  
behavior.


One of them, for example, can be that if it was not in use for longer  
time period, maybe contacts are dirty or oxidized. I would reseat and  
clean all connectors as a first simple step. Focus on keyboard cables  
and connectors, I suppose there are some.


Sometimes after the long sleep it's good to leave the machine on for  
longer time - three days and nights, but keep eye on it and switch off  
again when you can't stay near it.
