Hi
off topic a little, but I have an older Clavinova CVP105 were the backlight works, but no data on the screen. All the buttons and functions work surrounding the screen. What part of the LCd relates to the data generation?. I thought it usually is a circuit on the main board, but all functions still work....any ideas out there?

starstarstarstarstar 		LCD Died in 2012, now got a free replacemnt
by: Yuri N (NY, USA)

My LCD died in 2012 just when the unit ran out of warranty, and the repair estimate at that time was $600 USD, so I didn't do it and just put it on the shelf. At the time, Yamaha would not send a replacement part for free. I tried it again now - the new estimate is $750 (parts and labor), so i contacted Yamaha and this time they offered the replacement LCD for free. I still have to pay labor, which is $300 (4 hours at $75/hr).

By the way, in my case, when I tried to connect my TV to the video out, the video out had a very strong wavey veneer-type lines, so that was unusable.

BY NOW THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT YAMAHA PSR-S900 HAS GOT A MAJOR DEFECT IN AS FAR AS THE LCD DISPLAY IS CONCERNED.
I HAVE RELIED ON YAMAHA FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS,AND BOUGHT 7 DIFFERENT YAMAHA MODELS BUT SORRY TO SAY THAT THE WORST EVER PROBLEM IS WITH PSR- S900.
I THINK YAMAHA IS DUTY BOUND TO REPLACE THE LCD DISPLAY FOR FREE FOR ALL PURCHASERS OF THE SAID MODEL.
THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS TO TAKE BACK THE DEFECTIVE PIECE AND REPLACE WITH THE LATER MODEL PSR-S910 AND MAYBE CHARGE A NOMINAL AMOUNT .

starstarstarstarstar 		Mine died at church - part 2
by: Kathy B. - USA

Got the official diagnosis for my PSR-S900 that died during church on Sunday. It's officially another casualty of the poor quality displays that were put in these keyboards. My local repair shop quoted me $585 US for parts and labor. Before I authorized that, I put a call in to Yamaha USA. Told them of my problem and I expected a fight. There was none. The gave me a case number and my repair facility was going to call them and take care of getting the replacement part sent. I will only have to pay for the labor charges.

So it looks like Yamaha is finally stepping up to the plate on this issue. The person I spoke with at Yamaha even said, "A directive has been issued regarding this problem."

The replacement display Yamaha is sending is not the same type that went out. They are also sending whatever other parts and supplies are needed to allow the new display to be installed in my keyboard and get it back up and running.

That's the good news in this whole sad situation. I feel fortunate this happened to me now and not a year or two ago when Yamaha was not taking any responsibility for it. I think if I had to paid out of my pocket to fix this a year ago, I'd be sending them a bill and asking that they reimburse me for the parts at least.

As I mentioned before, this is my 4th Yamaha keyboard. They were a PSR-8000, PSR-2000, PSR-2100 and now the PSR-S900. Yesterday I vowed to never buy another Yamaha. But my how things have changed in just a day. Thank you Yamaha for restoring my faith in a product I have a lot invested in.

Now I have only to wait for the parts to arrive (they are in stock) and for the repairs to be made. Hopefully the keyboard will be back by Easter Sunday!

starstarstarstarstar 		Mine died during church...
by: Kathy B. - USA

I'm really sad to be posting here about the death of the LCD on my 3 year old PSR-S900. I have the keyboard set up at my church. I leave it there, so it's not carted around like some portables.

Sunday, during the middle of our church service, my LCD went blank. At first I thought someone might have tripped over my power cord and unplugged it. But then I noticed all the other lights on the keyboard were still working. I touched a key -- sound came out. "Oh my," I thought to myself. This can't be good.

So I took a quick break and headed into the church office where I Googled "PSR-S900 display." It didn't take long to confirm my suspicion about it not being a good thing. I emailed Yamaha USA about my problem. They only suggested I take it in to an authorized service center. There was no mention about a problem with these displays. Their most hopefull advice: "After all, it could be a ribbon cable connection for all we know at this point."

So I will package up my keyboard and take it up to my music store, which just happens to be an authorized service center. I suppose I'm lucky to have someone so close. I will follow up here at my situation progresses.

I have read of a few cases where Yamaha has replaced the LCD's out of warranty. I only hope they will do the same for me if this is what is needed.

starstarstarstarstar 		PSR 900 Screen Fix
by: Alun in the Treehouse

I live in the jungles of PNG and my sola powered PSR 900 Screen went crazy and was unusabl. I tried a TV screen running off the video output and it worked well but eye/finger button co-ordination was a problem.

You need the actual internal screen to be working so you can easily see which button to push especially if you are performing live and you need to be quick when chaning the settings.

There was no way here in the jungle to follow up with warranty etc. So I fixed it my self taking a couple hours for a cost of $100.

Located a small portable DVD player with the same size colour screen as the PSR 900 and installed it into the keyboard. The DVD screen and circuit board are now installed inside the keyboard and all the info lines up with the buttons.

On start up I only have to press the DVD mode button once and it flicks over to the Aux Input (PSR900 Video out) and all is well.

The 19VDC Keyboard power is converted inside the KYBD by using a vehicle cigarette lighter 12VDC power regulator which supplies the 12VDC to the DVD circuit board.

I am extreemly happy with the result and the screen is almost as good as the original.

Please contact me if you need to know more on this.

Further to my previous post, I have been informed by Yamaha that the problems all related to the screen failure and that a replacement (new-style) screen has resolved all issues. My instrument was 2 years and 11 months old, but the repair has been carried out under warranty (2 year). I awiat return of the keyboard with some interest.

starstarstarstarstar 		Yet another failed screen
by: Nigel

My 2 year 11 month old psr-s900 has gone dark. I could not use an external monitor as a work-around as the output is stuck on "new song". Have taken it back to Yamaha UK. Seems that they realise that they have an issue here. They have a different screen but this requires a replacement circuit board and also a software upgrade. Not exactly a diy job. My understanding is that they now accept that there is a manufacturing problem here - at least in the UK. Merchantable quality law covers one for up to 6 years here and so a good case could be made in the small claims court for compensation even if the "warranty" has expired. Good luck to you all.

by: Sam

Am from Nigeria, I am somehow surprise that everybody (users) around the world complains about the S-900. Even PSR 3000 give same problem. I have used these keybrds in diff. places and U'll hardly see any of it without this same screen problem. Another thing is that we cannot compare the sound quality of those old one with these new ones. Old products are better by far. Am saying this cos I currently use Psr 2100 and the S-900 in my church here, ...and I hardly use the latter just cos of the sound quality. I think Yamaha needs to stick to the quality of their old product...cos am tired of using dis kind of substandard produced keybrd.

Hi coleagues who own the Psr 900, I am also adding my voice to the hundreds who are dissatisfied with this Yamaha product. Mine is even worse as I am a one man band who earns a living through small gigs here and there. My Psr 900 blacked-out on me during the Xmas season where I had several bookings lined up for me!!! Tell me what do you do when this happens at a critical time like this!!!
I only bought this product new two years ago! The yamaha dealers are 400 miles away in another country ( Johannesburg South Africa) and when I called them they told me the screens have been discontinued by Yamaha. It doesn't end there, prior to this I had bought a Psr K-1 which uses smart media cards that have been discontinued as well and now I am stuck with that keyboard as i can't use it. Its so frustrating to have these fancy yamaha products for a short time and they die on you. Yes lets petition yamaha!!!!!!!

starstarstarstarstar 		UPDATE-PSR-S900
by: Anonymous

Update on my situation:

I contacted Yamaha Service in California-714-5229000 and explained the problem to Elijah Bradford. He would not verbally concur that there is a design flaw in the 900, but did agree to replace the part at their expense, with proper proof of my original ownership. Labor to be my cost, and gave me the name of 3 repair shops within reasonable driving distance- It happens to be 3 hours for me.

I contacted one of them, drove my keyboard to their store last week & am now waiting to hear from the repairman. He took last week as a "deer hunting' vacation, so he wouldn't get started on it until this week.

Now, I'm crossing my fingers that all will go well. Some members of PSRTutorial had to make repeat trips back for re-dos on the repair for one reason or another.

I've been told that Steve Denning is another name for getting results in the USA at the same 714#

SO, I can only recommend that you contact your service center in your area & see if you can get the same results. They DO say it's only available to the original owner- at least that's what they told me.

Will give an update when I have one. When I get it back,my first purchase is going to be a portable video source- tv or dvd- to attach to the keyboard- perhaps to use immediately in lieu of the kb display- but at least to have it available should I need it in the future. I've looked already & getting one with a video input for small dollars is the tricky part. Few types available in my area.

If you still have enough light to view the bars under your display screen, the video attachment could be attached now to give you usage back of the keyboard. The 900 manual gives instructions for hooking one up. I couldn't read any of the lettering on mine, so I didn't try it.

Sadly, I'm adding my name to this list. This AM when I woke up & turned the kb on- NO display

I will try to contact Yamaha & hopefully get the help I need- and if so, I'll report it back here.

It had also developed static noise over the right speaker anytime I use a high energy style- I think I have read elsewhere that this was another design flaw- so we'll see.

In my area of WV there are 2 dealers & I find that none of their employees know anything about keyboards- they are guitar specialists primarily so I was on my own when I decided to buy the 900- I hope I'm not on my own when it comes to repairing it,

I can now add my name to the list of dead displays for the 900,
When I turned my keyboard on this AM- the light went out- I had bought it new in 2008.
It had also developed static noises in the right hand speaker with any upbeat style- and I think I read elsewhere that this is also a design flaw.

I will contact Yamaha to see what happens. I live in a small state where the store owners are clueless about keyboard functions!

I may check into the small tv today- I can't easily give up the use of my kb for the month that I understand it might take to resolve it.
If I get satsifactory results from my complaint, I will also come back here and say so.

starstarstarstar 		fixing display problem on psr-s900
by: Joe Nesheim

I had similar problems with my PSR-S900 display. When I turned on the keybard the display would light briefy then go dark. I purchased a service manual from Yamaha for $16 to get scematics.

I disassembled the display module and found a single 2mm diameter 100mm long ccfl tube.

I purchased a replacement cold cathode fluorescent bulb for about $10 from CCFLwarehouse.com.
Their part code was CC20100. I ordered on line and had the tube in two days.

I used the wire leads and connectxor from the old tube and soldered the old wires to the new tube.

The hardest part is doing all of the disassembly and reassembly of the circuit board connections of the circuit board mounted just above the display.

The new CCFL works fine.

starstarstarstarstar 		The mechanics of the display shutdown
by: Anonymous

I have had my PSR-S900 for 2 years now- and it has inexplicably shut down in the left inch of the display. According to my research this is in fact a pixel-based shutdown, and not a connection failure. This seems to indicate that the LCD itself is of inferior composition as opposed to it being caused by simple interior-connection failure which generally results of poor overall workmanship, keyboardwise. Due to this, an entirely different display is required.

I live in Chennai, India and my service technician who is the authorized service man for Yamaha told me that there is no replacement display for the 900 / S900 / PSR 3000 and a few other models. Extremely sad that the company sells these keyboards without replacement parts. Fortunately I sold my PSR3000 before the display went dead and opted for a old Yamaha 9000Pro which I managed to get on second hand sale. I now have a PSR8000 and the 9000Pro. These are built to last for years.

by: Rana Saud Mahmood

You can also get and LCD display used in Car DVDs with a Video in Jack and use it through the Video out jack on the PSR... I have opted for this solution since I do not want my machine to undergo repairs, further, seeing the reviews, I learn that the display goes out again after three to six months so I guess this is the best alternative to live with.

by: Jerry

Yamaha is balking at acknowledging this problem, and they are VERY reluctant to repair it at their expense.

The simplest and easiest workaround is to plug a small TV into the Video OUT port on the back of the S-900 by using a yellow RCA cable from the keyboard to the TV.

It's not a fix, but at least you can still play your S-900. Hope this helps.

by: satish sharma

I too have the same problem for the past many months. The right one-third display has funny lines. This problem is endemic to all the psr-s900s and they all seem to have this problem-- i know two other people personally--Shaam in Bangalore and Parminder Singh in Chandigarh-- who are suffering with their psr-s900's display. The display supplier to Yamaha has done an extremely bad job by supplying substandard material. Yamaha's behavior of not owning up is even worse. Most people who buy a tyros or s900 are professionals or ardent enthusiasts. Yamaha should unconditionally replace the display--whether they have supplied the piece legally thru dealers under warranty --or have allowed it to be smuggled into countries which impose unreasonably high import duty. I have been a great fan of Yamaha Corp and over the last 20 years have owned over a dozen of their keyboards. I still have a tyros 2, psr-3000, and s-900---but this is unacceptable and disgraceful of Yamaha. Thry better do something about this.

Hi Sam

I can only tell you how we deal with these problems in England and hopefully you have a similar law.

Your keyboard is obviously not of merchantable quality, in other words, you can't use it for the reason you purchased it!

We have a Sale of Goods Act which covers products purchased for up to 6 years. Your complaint should be made to the company you purchased the keyboard from. Here we use the small claims court which is extremely cheap. Warranties do not affect our legal rights.
Good Luck.

I would be interested to know how you get on as I have a similar problem with an LCD TV I bought and I'm trying to get a refund.

Hi,

In order to convert your MIDI to MP3 you have two easy options.
1. Record your Yamaha line output to an external device and convert the recorded material to MP3 or
2. Take the MIDI-file import it to for example Reason, assign all the miditracks to samplers, export the whole song as a Wave, stereo interleaved, take that output file and convert with Wavelab or Soundforge or another program to MP3.
Good luck!

I just bought a PSR s900 and just the same worry. The between right hand side of the lcd and the right speaker gets so hot that I almost regret buy it. I have played the s710 and it does not heat up like s900. please could anyone out there tell me what the problem is and the solution. The shop where I bought this from has no warranty.

You should all be concerned about the right side of the speaker getting hot on the Yamaha s900 model because eventually this is going to sound distorted and become a bigger problem later when you notice that it will not last more than 5 minutes before it gets annoying and then wait and see, this speaker will not function anymore.

I have notify Yammaha to no avail, the repair men can't find the problem so you are stuck with it. More people need to step up and call Yamaha about this problem and perhaps a recall will be in order, what are you waiting for a fire in your home. I say stop buying the s900 until they fix this problem.

Dear krishnan
It is not at all problematic. If your s900 is new then initially you really feel lots of heat but after some days you will be comfortable with it. I have the same model and had the same heating felt initially

Installing psr s900 usb midi driver

by Schultzz
(Pittsburgh, PA)

Firstly the DVD Yamaha Survival Kit doesn't load.

Secondly, after downloading the usb midi driver the "detect new hardware" doesn't recognize the software.
I have bought some midi songs from the Yamaha site but cannot transfer them to the s900 because the usb connection is not recognized by the s900.

Am I doing something wrong? How do I get the s900 to recognize the driver?
