How to access Yamaha S 90 ES Key shelf

Repair of a punctured key shelf that was affecting keys. A warning about scissor-type keyboard stands. I've currently tied a cord between the upper ends of the stand, but will probably drill and install a safety chain or cable.

Make certain the keyboard is unplugged from power and all connecting cables are removed BEFORE beginning any work on the keyboard.

Thank you. Just managed to fix mine.

@Brekfastmachine You're welcome. It's a nice keyboard, hope you are enjoying yours.

is it metal inside on the bottom part?

[desertlight]

@johnnyrg3000 Sorry I haven't been here for a while to answer these questions. Even though it looks metalic its just a foil glued the top of the bottom deck that you see under the keyboard assembly.

Glad it was of use.

Long story short, remove all black screws in the bottom, two tiny ones in the front, remove front by simply pulling down. OPENED! +5 for effort, -1 for just making the operation take twice as long time as it would have if I hadn't been watching this video.

@Neil27271960 I had a hunch it would be useful to a few other people, glad it helped.

My PL400 just collapsed with my S90ES on it......same damage as yours.....I'm so mad.....

Thanks! I just fixed my friend's S90ES that we accidently dropped a piece of rack equipment on to. Less than a half hour or work and it's back to normal.
