Hi guys Nice to be here, and thanks for having me! I needed to disassemble my KX5 due to a batterie spill. Now it's all good, but I underestimated the efforts in putting it back together. Does anybody on the forum know where I could get an assembly manual for the board? Thanks for the help! Armin ------------- |

I'm not aware of any assembly manuals, and it's a long time since I took my KX5 apart. I was about to say that I bought a second KX5 just to have backup parts if it breaks again, but I checked eBay and they are now crazy expensive! I think I paid £100 for the KX5 including the breath controller and a hard case. ------------- |

Greetings - great to find you here on the interwebs :-) I bought two broken KX5s online (even have an anvil ata case), and combined them both hoping to have one fully functional one. The problem I encountered is that when I put it back together the notes and velocities do not function properly. I’ve been unable to find a service manual. I’m at a loss at what to do. Any suggestions? ------------- |

Is this what you were looking for FreebirdInFL? (I now see the post was several months ago, but in case anyone else is looking) https://www.vintagesynthparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Yamaha-KX5-SM.pdf ------------- |

Great, glad you could get it working again Armin. In case this is useful for finding other service manuals: to find the PDF I used Google Translate to get the Japanese for 'service manual', searched for that plus Yamaha KX5, and the PDF was one of the top results. ------------- |
