Hi there,
First post on this forum.

I have an old Korg 01W/fd. Have some small issues with it, and im about to buy some new stuff and would have sent this one to the trash.

however, second thought made up my mind to try to fix it ad use it in my weekend cottage.

There are three issues with it, one simple, one i can live with and one complicated. This thread is about the complicated one.

The easy one is the battery, that will be fixed this week.
The one i can live with is the "sticky keys". (quickfix?)

But... the complicated one is that the "Value button up" is half-stuck.
You know, if you klick a button it *klicks*, but the value button up doesnt klick. And sometime when i sit and play, it suddenly starts changing progs and combis.

As you can tell, this is very very annoying and it makes it completelly impossible to use it on stage.

However, i just tore the entire machine into bits and pieces to find the witch and see if there was something i could do to fix it, but it seems like this switch (it's called SW9 on the circuit board) is broken.

My question to you guys (and hopefully there is some KORG developers reading).... where can i get a new switch? Or is there anything else i can do.

Heres a picture of the switch:

Hi,

If you need the tact switches for your keyboard, I have found the exact switches which are quite cheap in my country. (It sells here for RM3 per piece) which is about US$0.90per piece

Please feel free to email me at admin@audioservices.com.my if you need the switches

With Regards,
Edmund
