Yamaha clavinova pf p-100 with no sound


(Ann Arbor, MI, USA)

After a move, my yamaha will turn on, but does not make any sound. I saw someone mention doing a factory reset to try to restore sound. How do I do a factory reset?


Alternately, how do I find a reputable person who would repair it despite how old it is?

starstarstarstarstar 		How I solved my piano-has-no-sound problem
by: Anonymous

We moved from Bangkok to Costa Rica and the YAMAHA had the red light on, but no sound -or sign of life-

I looked under the piano and noticed a switch set to 220v (Thailand is 220v). I turned that to 110v and the Piano is back to life ...

just in case someone has that particular problem...

starstarstarstarstar 		Clavinova pf p-100 with static
by: Paul

My Yamaha Clavinova PF P100 works fine but after it is on for a while lots of static noise comes out of the speaker. then it stops and 5 minutes later the static noise builds up again.

What could be wrong with it. Does anybody know? Does it have anything to do with the grounding of the plug?

by: Anonymous

During a group rehearsal today, I had no sound UNLESS the damper pedal was held the entire time which of course was then no sustain.

Ugh...After everyone left, I played with the piano sounds. I had sound with Grand Piano 2 and the sustain pedal worked fine.

It's the Grand Piano 1 setting where it doesn't work. Any thoughts on that? I didn't read anyones input about that scenario.

Hopefully, no trouble for a Recital tomorrow!

starstarstarstarstar 		Clavinola PF100 Headphone plug
by: Damian

Brilliant!! Yes opened up Clav. thinking it may have been glass fuse but no. Hugely expensive to get expert out to fix, found this post, took another look and found headphone plug loose. Now working beautifully. Thank you.
One more small problem though.
Now can't get my 15 year old son off it!!
Any solutions?

by: Anonymous

Soooooo glad for forums like this! We just moved an older Clavinova into the house and were dismayed when it didn't work. We turned to Google, and found this post. We easily found the speaker switch under the back section of the keyboard. Voila! Thanks!

Our Clavinova (CLP 120) has a speaker switch, which we found after we panicked and thought we had fried our piano! It's in a small recessed area under the left end of the keyboard. I had to lay on my back on the floor to look up and find it. Or think of it as above your left knee when playing -- but way over to the left end underneath the lowest notes on the keyboard. It's clearly marked (if you lay on the floor and look up) as "speaker" switch, with positions of on, off, and normal. On and normal work fine. Easy fix!!!

starstarstarstarstar 		Fix for no sound
by: Tom Campos

When the keyboard is moved the board that makes the headphones & Speakers work, will sometimes get unplugged. This is a simple fix,: Open the keyboard and reconnect the wire that comes out from the back of the headphone logic board to the main unit logic board. Once this is done the speakers and headphones will have sound again.

I do have the same problem no sound on my p-100 and the switch doesn't solve it. There is also no sound on the headphones...

by: Jimmy Smith

You have a switch on the back that cuts off the speaker system. Odds are, you inadvertantly switched it off when you were moving the keyboard. Simply move the switch on the back to the other position and cut on the keyboard. The switch was put there in the event you do not want to use the onboard speakers.
