Great video. I think my battery has finally lost all it's juice and needs replacing. The only issue is I don't understand soldering that well. I'm scared a tech my break the synth by accident too.
Soldering isn't too difficult, but certainly takes some practice to master. I would imagine anyone who is a tech should be able to handle the job. Hopefully you can find someone to do it for a reasonable price. I recall one time picking up a DX7 from someone who claimed a technician wanted $175 just to look at it. That number may have been thrown out there because he didn't actually want to deal with it but it could also be a realistic number. I honestly don't know what the going rate is on that kind of work. Anyways, I wish you the best of luck with that. It would be really cool to hear, with a bit of practice, you built up the confidence to do it yourself, but I also understand if you go the route of seeking out a tech. In that case I hope you find someone who can do a great job at a price you feel is reasonable.
Great instructional. Thank you for this! Most grateful! However, please consider slowing down a bit with your speaking and take your time enunciating your words. Because you sounded like you were half-drunkenly slurring while pinching your nose, and rushing through your speech, on top of this. 😆 Consequently, I had to turn on close captioning on the TH-cam options in order to discern what you were saying half the time.
Thanks for watching and for the advice. I was trying to keep these videos short-ish, but I guess I took things too far lol. I have also been considering adding my own closed captioning, but it's good to hear that atleast youtube can understand me
What exactly do you look up to get the new battery piece on eBay? I was unable to find one and need one for the Korg DW 6000 I just purchased. Thanks!!
Looks like I can't it find on ebay either. I did find a site selling them though. Check out AnalogClassics.com and do a search for Yamaha DX7 battery replacement.
@@deltamumusic I just wanted to reach out because maybe you’ll know since I’m new to synths or maybe you could point me in the right direction. I successfully replaced the battery and the screen lights up with solid numbers but once I hit the switch to turn it on it turns off right alway. Which was the same symptom before I replaced the battery the only difference is the screen did not display full numbers like it does now that I replaced the battery. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!!
@@midwestrest9817sorry for the late reply, but I haven't had this problem before, so I can't provide much help. I would suggest maybe looking for any loose connections or cold solder points before digging into it too much. If that isn't the issue, you can try searching forums to see if someone else has a simular problem. I don't know if it was you, but I saw a post the Facebook group "synthesizer spares and repair" of a dw6000 with your problem. That group is a great resource. There are many knowledgeable people in that group. I was able to get help from some one there for a different project where I couldn't find a schematic for something and need to replace an exploded capacitor. The guy that helped me was able to name the value of the cap from memory
@@deltamumusic thank you! I actually joined that exact group a couple days ago and was able to find help. Really appreciate you always helping and reaching back out. Have a great day!
Great video, thank you for making it. This gave me the confidence I needed to actually do the same on mine !
Your welcome and I'm glad to hear it has installed some confidence in you. That's what I ultimately hope you achieve with these repair videos
