Yamaha PSR 295 Keyboard - Digital Circuit Board needs to be replaced

by Kathy

I have a Yamaha PSR-295 keyboard. It is about 5 years old, but rarely used.

A couple of months ago, when I turned on the psr295, there was a "pop" sound, and the sound and programming failed to work.

The display lights up, but there is no output and we can't change any settings.

I took the Yamaha psr-295 keyboard into a music shop and they said the main digital circuit board is faulty and needs to be replaced (cost > 325.00).

Is it common for this part to break down, and what would be the cause?

Is there a less expensive way to repair my Yamaha PSR-295 Keyboard?
