K2600/K2600X Disassembly/Assembly
Introduction
This chapter contains all the procedures for the disassembly and reassembly of both the 76-note
K2600 and the 88-note K2600X—as well as instruments with factory-installed or after-market
options. In some instances a procedure may instruct you to remove a cable from an after-market
option board or device that may not be present. Simply skip this step of the procedure and
continue.
There are five main sections: Opening the K2600/K2600X, Top Enclosure, Bottom Enclosure, K2600
Keyboard Assembly, and K2600X Keyboard Assembly.
Saving User Data
Warning: Be sure to save all user data and remove any user disk from the disk drive before
disassembly. For detailed instructions to save the user data, please refer to Saving User Data on
page 5-2.
Notes, Cautions, Warnings
Please pay special attention to all Notes, Cautions, and Warnings as they not only point out
specific instructions, but also alert you to differences between the 76-note K2600 keyboard and
the 88-note K2600X keyboard.
Cables, Connectors
All flat ribbon cable connectors are keyed, and therefore cannot be reversed. Flat ribbon cables
have locking cable clips. Be sure to reapply the clips when connecting cables.
In some cases, tape secures cable connections or fastens cables to the bottom enclosure. Always
peel back the tape from one side when disconnecting cables so that the tape remains properly
positioned.
