I’m horrible with hardware and tools. All I really own is a small set of screwdrivers I bought from Daiso down the street. Everything else I have to borrow from my brother.

I didn’t expect to be able to fix the broken key (a hammer mechanism inside the broken key no longer stayed in place), but with my son’s craft glue and 24 hours of curing, the key is working as expected again.

I’ve been riding the high of fixing it all day.

    Nicely done. I recommend keeping some two part epoxy on hand for projects like this. Epoxies tend to be much stronger than any single part adhesives.

    The best kind of high! I tell people that fixing things is a super power. At least it makes me feel like it.

      It really is! Now I’m tempted to try and see what’s wrong with my old guitar amp. I have the feeling that issue is out of my league, though.

    I resoldered the power connector on mine the other day. Not perfect, but it’s working again. This of course was after already buying a replacement power cable hoping that was the issue…

    Nice! I like fixing things but have never had the nerve to open up my digital piano.

    Man… Good job! 🙌 I usually try my best with these kinds of things but fail.
