Hey Guys,
I'm fairly new to soldering but i make it work. I've fix many music keyboards and replaced potentiometers, faulty buttons and a few capacitors. So i'm curious how some one would approach this. I bought a broken korg M50 with the intention of fixing a capacitor that fails on roughly 1/2 of this model. Korg provide the instructions to do this. When I took the Main board out of the keyboard i was saddened to find out that some one had tried to do the repair ( a very poor job at that ) and damaged or burnt part of the main board. I have attached a picture and the schematic. Can I save this? it looks like R28 had been re-soldered on the bottom. Capacitor C37 was completely missing. it looks like the contact pad had been pulled off too ( or is that how its supposed to look?) can anyone help please? thank you.
