In this episode, I find an old Casio keyboard at an estate sale that has been eaten alive by battery leakage. I spend some time doing a full restoration on it and then a quick demonstration.
Well kids, what lesson have we learned today?
Buy Duracell.

thats not true they all come from the same factory in germany only with a different sticker.

Fiona Harris true
5:23 imagine dropping that darn screw.
Yeah. Put the plug in the farting sink, ya tube!
I lost a screw when my cousin took apart my switch :(
@Trent Spencer idk
Old comment but I did manage to accidentally drop the case reset button for my European model 1 Saturn in the sink.
Thankfully I was able to get the button out using a long wood stick and chewing gum.
Battery corrosion happens when you have a current and continue to draw life from the battery after it is dead. The zinc outer shell of the battery is eaten by the contents. Don't just use the same type, *TEST EACH ONE* every time you replace all the batteries. 1.5V, 1.5V, 1.5V, 1.3V, don't use the odd one!
Thanks for sharing!
3 years late but w/o a multimeter there is no way to check the voltage of the battery right? I don’t have a multi meter at the moment.
Making use of the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type
Glad to see someone on TH-cam still knows how to fix stuffs instead of just microwaving them...
Hedgehog Fox is it a good idea to microwave this?
Tommy Whitaker yes
Adis - Ad metallica will do better
Are you from 2006, when is it a good idea to microwave this and dovetastic were in their prime?
Have a look at Techmoan and Bigclive while you're at it. TH-cam is full of buffs showing off history and technology :D
Or cuts them in half.
This should be a Duracell ad
no kidding
George Thomas the issue is the mixed battery types, whichever battery was weaker is guaranteed to lose the corrosion battle, if the duracell wasn't newer than the corroded battery it would be corroded instead
Tobias SN true
This is why duracell is the most trusted brand. It was just fine in the vid
Buy Duracell, or this might happen to you
That sample song was amazing 7:30

@Vance Pants I think its Friday the 13th, but i could be mistaken.

I've got worse, I bought a Lynx 2 and the batteries had rotted through the entire motherboard and screen!
Larry Bundy Jr Hello, you!
Oh my god, I love your channel!
+Larry Bundy Jr
Your comment prompted me to check my own Lynx 2, which I had no idea if the batteries were still in it or not, since it had been so long since I last used it
Of the six Duracell AA's inside, only one showed any signs of leakage, and it was confined to the metallic portions of the end caps. All the other cells were pristine. The "freshness date" on them? March 2009.
And they still had enough charge to boot up the device and play a round of Pinball Jam without keeling over. They had to be almost new the last time I played this particular unit, which could have been in excess of ten years ago.
RailRide Yup, ALWAYS take the batteries out if you aren't going to use something for a while. Put them in a zip lock bag or something.
Dangit, man. All of the classic stuff I check out, I end up seeing your mug. Pff, nice to seeya.
Note to self: Never buy cheap batteries unless you want a box full of rust.
Just don't leave the batteries in for 20 years.
Argantonis
True, it's just that I have lots electronic devices that I sometimes forget to take the batteries out. One time I left batteries in a remote that sat in there for the past 8 years and it wasn't damaged from corrosion since they were Duracell batteries. Sadly that's not the same story for my radio that had cheap Chinese batteries that were sitting inside for 1.5 years.
LOL

Dollar tree batteries are a perfect example.

Never mix batteries, especially if one is an off-brand
@@trgtheredghost6528 never had an issue mixing batteries in 30 years
Also Duracell is prone to leakages. I had a battery leakage in my Nintendo Game Boy, and surprisingly it survived from the leakage. Now I use energizer batteries in my Game Boy.
@@sethhorst6158 only time I ever had leakage in a gameboy, was with energizer.

Remember kids; take out your batteries on devices if you're not using them. Otherwise, this might happen...

This keyboard has great samples. It sounds better than my casio ctk 2400.
You are right! even yamaha is now skimming on the samples, i tested a 81key keyboard at a pawn shop and the grand piano was a joke it sounded like a cheap off brand Chinese keyboard.
As a kid, I used to buy a lot of electronics for next to nothing from car-boot-sales, this battery leakage was so common
Whether or not you like this keyboard, David, I very much appreciate people like you that are willing to put so much energy into restoring stuff like this. Most people would have taken one look at that thing an thrown it away.
Someone was doing a
Casio vs Batteries challenge in the 80' lol.
"Metallic Sound"
How Creative
It's supposed to be a harpsichord I think!
emlrob yea
Oh my gosh, I've only watched the first minutes and a half and I already love your channel!
For those wondering, 210 sounds is:
190 combinations of instruments ([20x19] / 2)
and of course the 20 instruments on their own.
It's actually 20 x 19 x 18 x ... x 1 (=210), including "illegal" combinations (w/ drums, sound effects)
@@lesharkoiste 20x19x18 is already so much, you meant +, not x
And also, my calculation is simpler, two-instrument combination is 20x19 divided by 2, because 1+2 is the same as 2+1, and add the solo 20 to that.
@@FightingForceSoulless thanks for correcting my mistake
HOLY COW TO THE THIRD POWER
I love it
I cringed slightly when you grabbed the corroded battery with your bare hands.
The Cando Railfan it's not that bad
I cringed when he got the screw in vinegar with his hands
It's not that bad if you don't rub your eyes or touch your mouth, and wash your hands relatively quickly afterward, most of it is dry corrosion and will not immediately eat through your hands.
I cringed reading half of these comments
yeah he'll end up with hand cancer.
I needed to clean an old FRS 2-way radio in which the batteries had corroded. I found this video after doing a simple TH-cam search for "clean corrosion off battery contacts". I am not a musician, nor do I have any particular interest in electronic keyboards, however, I found this video to be very interesting and informative. Even after I learned how you deal with battery corrosion, I watched it all the way to the end. Thanks, I enjoyed it.
1:54 "Holy cow to the third power"
Sounds like something my Math teacher would say...
Now you can sell it for 250% more!
Except that 150% comes from the labor of picking it up, scrubbing it and selling it, profit wise, $20 isn't enough
A lot of people think battery reconditioning is hard however I think I know it's incredibly simple. I have done it hundreds of time before, in fact it's what I do for a living [Check Details Here==> t.co/uUSuy6Yk5g ]. Anybody can recondition batteries, you just need to know the techniques.?
o-O ?!?! BORING?!? THAT SOUNDED AWESOME, AND I DON'T EVEN PLAY MUSIC
I find your videos super entertaining and a jewel for learning new stuff. Regards fron Colombia
So 90s vibe from this channel ! I love it
Is this some secret Duracell ad? Because it’s working
it could be you never know with duracell they are sneaky like that
but seriously this is why the duracell battery's are higher build quality over the cheap no name brands

I dont give a creps. Those sounds you made sampling sound amazing. Great jog 8 bit. You are the man. Love ya vids. BT W, been watching for years....
It is unbelievable to see your home and neighbors without a fence. Here in Brazil it is impossible! We are living in our "house arrest". I visited some places in the USA, Ann Arbor and Lansing - Michigan, Knoxville - Tennessee and a beautiful little town, Loma Linda - California, where I did an experiment with high energy protons. USA is incredible! Congrats on your TH-cam channel. It's a pleasure to watch every video of you.
I've played a lot on that exact model. The purchase year was 1990 or possibly 1991, so I would agree with the 1989 guess. It was WAY cooler than my own Casios (PT-20 and MT-65) back then. Today, it is the other way around...
1:13 when you eat a pizza roll but its too hut but you dont wanna spit it back onto the plate so you have to do the open mouth ventilation thing while you're breathing fucking fire:
That song in the end is still amaze me after 5 years i've heard. I used to be playing on synth when i was 8 years old and somehow i've got the same feeling after hearing this. Such a good feeling :)
I absolutely enjoyed the short song you made with it. It almost belongs in an episode of MacGyver or in a video game while receiving instructions for your critical mission.
You should name this video better. I think it's a great demonstration of your skills and how to fix a very common problem with electronics. You would get more views and as a consequence, more happy owners. Do you sell your repaired keyboards? Excellent work!
What would you call it? I haven't sold any, but I do plan to eventually as I have accumulated too many!
Well. Taking a look at your other videos seems that you are above average in this one, wich is great (around 20k views or so). I did a Google Trends search for "battery leakage" and is a term that is increasing in searches since 2012. Adding something more descriptive to what you actually did in the video like "repair" or "cleansing" had not enough volume to show a trend. With that said, you may not get much volume from searched terms but you would have more curious guys to click if you also add "repaired" or "like new" somewhere in the title. I assume that you used the tags section to describe your video. Try adding: diy, electronics repair, battery leakage cleansing, how to and other related terms.
If you sign this keyboard, after all the work you put on it, and you certify is the one from this video, it would be interesting to be acquired by someone like me. Even if it is not the best Casio Keyboard ever, you having it repaired is awesome.
Not necessarily. Have you seen the title of casey neistats videos? Totally abstract and yet he has managed to make some of the best blogs of all time.
Great point! I assume Casey's subscriber base (5M), popularity (1 billion views total) and historical authority (since 2010) allows the TH-cam Algorithm to expose his videos to a larger audience.
It looks that every time Casey publishes a video it has a lot of views and a lot of engagement, so is a proven success for the algorithm (which gives preference to what works).
In this case, I guess if 8-bit Keys works to improve titles and descriptions with more popular keywords, it may increase the exposure to new viewers that may be searching or interested about these themes.
I am not saying it's been done wrong, because I love this content and I wish I had as many subscribers and views as 8-bit Keys has, on the contrary, I want more people to be expose to this amazing content!
I can't tell this is the right way and the only way to know if it would work is experimenting.
Cheers!

Why was this recommended to me? Not that I'm complaining, I enjoyed it!
I think I used to have that same keyboard when I was a kid. The sounds bring back some memories. We don’t have it anymore because it was time to upgrade after a while.
I had a casio tone bank ct670. I am a teacher and that keyboard is used by the music teacher ir my school. Works perfectly . love to see that model in your channel.
"Holy cow to the power of 3" I'm dead
I'm glad you are.
@ 8-Bit Keys I think the term you're looking for is sample based keyboard. There's a difference between sampling keyboards and sample based keyboards. Sampling keyboards such as the Casio SK-1 and the Yamaha VSS-30 allow you to record arbitrary samples and play them back via the keyboard keys, whereas sample based keyboards store samples of acoustic instruments in memory,, such as a piano, a flute, or a violin for instance. Not all sampling keyboards are necessarily sample based. The Yamaha VSS-30 is based on FM synthesis. Anyway, with sample based keyboards and synths, some samples are produced by combining wave forms and""/or samples to best represent the instrument its tamber is supposed to resemble. The Vtech Little Smart Super Soundworks is at its heart a sample based synthesizer and you can find an article about it online.

I love the looks of the 430, very 80s with the pearlescent finish etc but good grief it is an absolute BEAR to work on!
Glad you got this old girl up and running though! I love this channel as a side dish to the main 8 bit guy channel and it'd be awesome if you had the time/inclination to fix up another 80s keyboard 😀 always informative!
WOW! What a nightmare corrosion! I really think that this restoration was one of the hardest works that you ever done. The previous owner really screwed up when put that generic battery instead of another Duracell battery.
Moral of the story?
Buy Duracell batteries :P
The Duracell was also corroded, blind ass.
Nope. I'm dealing with leaged Duracells in my MagLite 4D. The corrosion looks just different as it is aluminum and not steel like on the back of the keyboard here.
zUltra actually no its u that is blind ass that rust in Duracell battery is probably the rust leftover from the Corroded battery go ahead look closer and rethink before shit posting lol
@@RizLazey I've looked closer than you and i came up with this:
1. Get some grammar lessons
2. I've had a ton of Duracell batteries and they all leaked. There is no alkaline battery in existence that doesn't leak.
3. Why are there 2 Duracell batteries when he said that the Duracell didn't leak? And why was the old corroded one replaced with a new one?
4. You can clearly see some yellow stuff on the positive terminal of the battery. Meaning it leaked.
-5. Why is the ground cable corroded?- After closer inspection, it wasn't damaged by leaking batteries. If it were to be that way, than the spring should've been corroded too.

He was either paid by Duracell, or he is a clear sellout.

David was trying really hard not to swear out loud
I have to admit- I only really understood half of the vocabulary here, but it was really cool seeing you disassemble and reassemble the keyboard!
I love the dramatic music during the initial display of the corrosion :-D
David undoubtedly knew the relative condition of the keyboard before purchasing it: it'd be near-impossible not to notice all of the corrosion on the bottom and not know something was up. But $12 is a great deal for a good video!

Since I'm fixing electronics for my family and other people I think I'm gonna show the part of this video with the battery corrosion to the "special" ones who did bring me devices which had... corroded contacts from leaking batteries to convince them to REMOVE THOSE DAMN BATTERIES ! when not using the device for a long period of time. Thank you for this video.
