    by: Anonymous

    I bought this piano for a really good price. Some of the lights go on, but there is no sound. I have had someone tell me that the "battery" pack has corroded and damaged my motherboard and his prices for repair were beyond unbelievable. Is there someone or somewhere that would help me with this and be willing to quote a reasonable price? This guy is quoting like 4 times what it would cost for a brand new one.

    Thanks

    by: Suresh

    Few queries regarding batteries have been posted, so here are some thoughts.

    Few things to keep in mind in case you are attempting the repair on your own. In the case of digital pianos, it is best to have the service manual nearby before you attempt opening it.You will also need a Screwdriver set, and in case you really intend to do all the detective work yourself, you will also need a multimeter, and soldering, desoldering tools.

    This is to be tried only incase the factory reset doesn't work!

    Once you open up the body, you should be able to find a silver colored coin-shaped battery. Most internal batteries are of this type. If you have been using your instrument for several years, you will need to replace it with a new lithium ion cell battery. Just slide the battery out of its holder, and insert the new one.

    However, if the battery is one of the less-commonly used types (the service manual should tell you that) and is soldered, you will need to do some work. this is where the tools come in to play.

    To remove the existing soldering, you'll need to heat it up with the soldering iron and then use the desoldering tool to remove the excess solder (avoid direct contact with the battery). Now you can insert the new battery in place.

    by: Elvis (Arkansas)

    We have a Baldwin Pianovelle RP100 (made by General Music). It will power on but not work. From posts on the internet I suspect it is a battery that has leaked on a circuit board. I removed the top cover and check the circuit boards that I found and did not find a battery or any damage to a ciruit board. I need to know the location of the battery and how to get to it.

    We also have a Baldwin DVP-80, and think that the internal battery might need to be replaced, but we don't know where it's located-how to get to it.

    by: Norma King (Staten Island, New York)

    My Baldwin Pianovelle RP150 Digital Piano does not turn on and there is no sound...

    I have Baldwin Pianovelle RP-450 for about 9 years. It does not totally switch on and there is no volume and none of the prompts on the piano light up. I never had a problem until this summer. My piano is in my basement.

    I'm beginning to believe that the dampness may have affected my piano. I also believed that because it was digital there would not be a problem. Perhaps I was incorrect.

    Can someone please help me in solving this problem on my Baldwin Pianovelle RP150 digital piano or point me in the right direction.

    Thank you

    My Baldwin Digital Piano got damaged from water spill

    I had a party at home and there was a young kid who accidentally spilled water on my digital piano. Didn't pay much attention on that day, but two weeks later when I wanted to play the piano, there were 5 keys that could not make sound.

    I think the electronic of these 5 keys are shorted from the result of water spill.

    Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix the problem on my Baldwin Digital Piano or where I can get for help?

    Thank you
    - Thanh
