Another positive vote from Jokeyman. Not just the touchscreen, the entire LCD panel needed replacing and i was able to do both from watching your video. Thanks.
I just want to say thank you so much for 6 years my screen has not worked and I honest started using other gear. To top it off I actually found this video years ago and I was like “nope” I can’t do that I’m gonna break it. Called around music stores to ask them to repair it and they said it’s to old or they don’t repair this model. Then like which Kraft this video popped up again a few months back and I was like right I’m doing it. Screen took a month to come. I followed every stepped and got my station working again I can tell you how happy I am.
Hey Patrick! So glad you were able to get yours fixed. It's an amazing synth and deserves a second chance! Thanks for taking the time out and writing a lovely comment as well!
Thank you so much. Your video helped me save my M3. I was actually about to dump it and thought that if I was going to dump it, I should at least try to fix it myself for a few bucks.....and it works again! Really appreciate the time you took and the clarity of your presentation.
Time for me to bite this bullet too, as my M3 touchscreen stopped working as well. Thank you for your very insightful video, I'll be playing it while I do this repair. Not looking forward to the repair at all, but your video will be a great help I'm sure. Thanks again.
I just wanted to say thank you for the video. I thought it was the end of that board for me since the screen didn't work. But after watching your video I fixed my much needed board. Thank you again. Wow shessss back lol
@@ranzee Man I had almost given up and purchased the replacement screen I was praying it worked. If feels good to be able to fully use it. I was a little nervous about doing the repair im not gonna lie. but you were very good at explaining. I couldn't find the tape you used. So I had to cut strip of scotch 3M but it worked 😁
sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Cesar Michael thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Good video - cheers!! My screen ended up black after replacing the glass.. The touchscreen stopped working, but I had a picture. Replaced the touch screen and now the screen is black (but the touchscreen works - tried the X-Y pad and so I know the replacement glass is working). No idea what has happened to the screen itself. I’ll have to dig out the service manual and see if me replacing the glass and the battery reset something. I did recheck all the connectors but nothing so far. Btw the EXB-M256 ram that goes in that slot is quite expensive for what it is, but it does help boot up time.
Exactly the same problem here, black screen after replacing the touch screen but everything else is working. Did you end up finding a solution for this?
Just did this operation for the second time, with same result: the lowest part of the screen works fine, but the closer to the top of the screen I go, the more above the wanted function, I have to press. So, the functions on top of the screen cannot be used, and the screen cannot be calibrated. The two new touchscreens were from two different suppliers/manufacturers. Would be grateful for any ideas, where could the problem be?
hello my synthesizer i30 works I put the sound of a1 piano and play i don't change the sound. program sound itself is changing and styles too problem in touchsrenn or display?i want know help me pls thanks
I'm hoping someone will read this even though its a long while since the video was created. I'm sitting looking at the screen now about to put the double sided tape on but the stuff I have is very thin. It is just tape. I think I needed foam tape and Is there a thickness of tape that is recommended?
Hi information is in the description of the video - click the link to get the PDF download. Here's the part you wanted: The Fujitsu part N010-0554-T009 can be sourced from Mouser components (www.mouser.com). The Mouser part is 817-N010-0554-T009
I saw this video or another maybe three years ago and was inspired enough to purchase a repair kit off ebay. I finally worked up the courage to do it tomorrow. I had a question about why when you were about to reassemble you took six of the screws from your plastic cup and isolated them. What was the difference between those? They all looked the same size.
I always try and remember where the screws go - it's just something I do automatically (from fixing computers). I can't remember if the screws were different sizes - as I did this a few years ago. But just hook into it - you'll be fine :)
@@ranzee well everything went well although there was moment where I thought I may have bricked the M3. I was trying to remove the old glass and it cracked. I had more digging of the black chalking before it would come off. There was fine glass powder left on the LCD itself. I used a brush vacuum a fraction of an inch away to clean it up, but there were some scratches where the glass had cracked. I used windex at that point on a stiffer type paper towel and cleaned it. But as it turns out everything worked great when I put it back together!! Thanks for providing the info to get me through it! By the way, the six screws that were larger are for the bottom of the panel. I actually wrote down on the steel each screw number as I removed them so that when it was time to put it back together I just had to count backwards from 30.
I have a question that's off track oh, good video by the way. My question is this, if I take inputs from Roland drum trigger kit and go to the midi input of the Korg M3 expanded, can the USB port from the Korg relay that information to my laptop computer for Cubase Daw?
Hey, I doubt it would work the way you suggest. However, there's other ways you can achieve this. If you want your Roland to be the master clock (as you say trigger), then you can set the M3 as a MIDI slave and have it work that way.
@@ranzee but will this allow me to take the midi signal coming out of the Roland going into the Korg so I can record what I'm doing on my Cubase Daw using the USB cord?
can you give me some advice please? sometime my screen work well and i can even make the calibration of the touch screen.. and other times its like if everythings was quirky of an inch so the upper part of the screen was impossible to set and in the lower part ,i have to push like 1 inch upper to push the operation that i need... do you think that it was just the touch screen like yours or the black part under the touch screen? i am just fed-up of all this ,its the third m3 that i buy but the first time that i have problems with the screen,,what i should do? send it to korg facility? i just wont to fix it and re-sold at any price faster than i can ,i just can see it anymore and i have the huge 88 notes keyboard and its take so many place... i just wont to trow it by the windows.... i will buy a triton le tomorrow at 250$ in good condition and i will used it at the place of the m3 ..less complicated ,smaller and i ll ear that korg have get out a plug in for the triton(i dont know if its true ) like a kind of editor software ,so i will try to find it. when i used the editor in computer i can almost do everythings except few things but i have few computer and its a pain in the ass to install and make it work..and i think i have to put the m3 in usb mode but because of the issue of my screen ,i cannot make it... ok thank and if someone could answer me it will be appreciated so mush... sorry for my bad english
I just bought a Korg M50 61 key synthesizer here in the states for $125.00 that has this touch screen issue. I ordered a new glass screen digitizer and am going to take the keyboard apart and change the screen just as you have done in this video. What size double stick tape did you need to use to attach the new screen?
Ranzee you had 3mm double sided tape but you attached and then took it off. The screen I purchased already had the tape installed so I didn’t need double sided tape. I’m assuming same with you?
mines weird it lets me press then randomly if I'm on one synth it jumps to another and then certain areas I can no longer press. Or I have to press loads and it works or I press and straight after it randomly selects an option in a menu without me pressing
@@ranzee I decided to take it apart , watched you do it, and noticed the orange/brown cable on main screen was at an angle so push it straight and that seems to have done the job
Sir, My M3 keyboard display became white colour screen...nothing to show..only a white screen..bt, the touch options are working with beep tone..bt I can't see anything on ma touch screen.. why its happened? And how can I resolve...? Pls. Help.?
Hi, I don't think it is a touch screen issue (which is what this video is about). You may need to get it into an Korg repairer/electronic repairer to fix. Without seeing the issue I can't even begin to troubleshoot fo you. Best of luck!
I tried two touch screens and n any results for my Korg PA 800. I am waiting for the third one which ordered from a professional technician. Anybody knows what's the problem is? I am wondering if something wrong with the mainboard? The touch screen cannot chose what I wish. It does randomly what it want
Hey, I'm selecting different instruments on the display, but the keyboard and drum pads never play the new sound. They play the same plain piano sound all the time. Do you know why this could be happening? I'm trying to restore to factory settings, but my touch screen is giving me a hard time. Do you know if there's a way to restore to factory without using the touch screen?
@@ranzee Thanks. Sorry to bother you, but I have one last question. My M3 touch screen is visible, but doesn't respond properly to touch. I'm gonna get a price estimate for repair this week. What do you think is a reasonable price to pay?
Hey Nick, probably 2hrs labor and parts. This is where I got the part from: au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fujitsu/N010-0554-T009/?qs=%2Fha2pyFaduibHsmWRW0Uj8TDyoRNuxABvrhzgJPtgUNA9k6fxJiUog%3D%3D - shows they have stock!

What is wrong with the KLM-2810SE? Also: Contact Korg - they might have spares.
How did you disconnect the synth/touch screen from the actual keyboard?
Hey Nick - tells you how to do that in the manual. It is a simple matter of removing a few screws and the top holding plate.
I couldn't find the instructions in the manual, but I think I know what screws you're talking about. Thanks a lot.

Does the korg krome also have the same digitizer?

@@SubodhKozhikode See Page 201 of the Operator's Guide. Also there's an M3 Editor from Korg (I'm not sure if it is for Mac as I have WINDOWS).
What is that board that is atached to the first plate that you remove from the botton of the module, min. 1:40 ? My M3 does not have it.
That's most likely the EXB-RADIAS expansion card. It basically adds the Korg RADIAS synth to the M3. They are super cool.
