Hi, I have a Korg M1 that I idiotically leant to someone who poured…SOMETHING onto it, and now the KLM-1266F is NOT happy. Would you guys know of anyone who would be able to repair/replace it? From what I understand there are versions A through G of this board, and if repair isn’t possible, do you have any replacements?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry but ask at a music shop in your area on who can repair it locally.
If it was a soda spill, it may have corroded traces. If it has any chip sockets that would be a good place to start. Pull the board and use a multimeter set to tone and look for continuity between every chip leg and the corresponding solder joint underneath. If anything seems sketch, pop the chip out, clean the legs and replace the socket with a high quality turned pin, gold plated socket. They’re like 25 cents each. Then go looking for bad traces using a high powered loupe. Bypass them with wire if necessary
