Key Contact Repair
Cleaning Roland D-50 key contacts

Roland D-50 key contacts might need cleaning or replacement if certain keys play too loud, or if they don't play at all.

This repair story shows how to disassemble the Roland D-50, take out the key contact strips, and clean the switch contacts.

Before disassembling the D-50, mark the misbehaving keys with a piece of tape so you can later mark their locations on the removed keybed.
