a yamaha cs-50 + UPS

2003-04-18 by Ed Hallborg

Hello group Anyone have any experience repairing a cs-50 or claiming damage against UPS?  I just recieved this cs-50 yesterday.  Apparently, the big heavy psu came loose in transit and crashed around inside the synth.  The psu circuit board was cracked in 3 places and a slider (pulse width) above the unit was broken into pieces.  Not to mention several slider caps came loose and were broken into pieces as well.  Is there any hope?  Any tips on repairing a cracked board or finding replacement parts appreciated.  I have a feeling I wont be getting much out of ups for this. Thanks,Ed

  Provided the circuit boards and wiring under the keyboard are not 
broken, it sounds like the same repairs I did are what your CS-50 needs.

IF it was an ebay purchase and IF it was insured you can get the EBAY 
purchase price back.  Otherwise the repair of a cracked pcb will either 
require a replacement or some patience and creativity.  Good luck.
