Stuck notes (stuck keys methinks)

Stuck notes (stuck keys methinks)

2007-06-02 by c3dw

I just got a C.P. and a few of the keys stick a little. It's not even 
really visually noticeable, but the note remains played unless you 
physically lift the key up. Is there an easy way to fix this?

There's probably some sticky gunk that's condensed on the circuit board
under the silicone rubber dome switches. I seem to recall that it's possible
to snap out the keys, and then lift out the strips of dome switches. Then
you can clean under them with alcohol. I hope the switches themselves
haven't started to degrade--anything can happen after 20 years.
