Hi Alex,
I was able to get all of the "standard" keys working by opening them
up, giving the contacts a light cleaning, and rotating the carbon pad
90 degrees. The num lock, even after disassembly and some work on
surface rust, is still not toggling smoothly. The tactile switches

Hey Matt,
I've done a lot of synthesizer repairs of similar vintage (and sometimes
similar architecture!) and I'd recommend not replacing any caps unless
you've done diagnostics to determine that they're the cause of a specific
problem. There's no hard-working filter caps in this machine like

In my experience, the 102 is unlikely to need any caps replaced. The M100,
though, I now recommend replacing C82 through C86 on all units, in addition
to replacing the memory battery.

Thanks Wayne.
Yes, I already clipped the varta out (it had started to go, but hadn't
hit the board yet). Caps will be next - also something I need to do
on the M102.

Change the internal battery; if it is not bad now, it will likely go bad
soon and can rot your computer. While you have the case open, it is a good

Hi all,
I recently picked up a "for parts, not working" M100 on Ebay. After a
quick inspection where I didn't see any obvious damage, I tried

immediately and seems to work just fine (keyboard, display, etc). My
guess is that the
