Hey guys
I've just picked up a Yamaha PSR-260 it's an absolute monster. unfortunately the previous owner has put their foot right through it, causing damage to the almost all of the circuit boards inside. Hooked up to a battery the screen lights up and the speakers make a clicking noise, pressing buttons and keys has no effect at the moment.
I'm fairly sure it'll never work again - BUT the really big chip - XY435B0 - on it seems to be intact, as is the keyboard mechanism itself which seems to be self-contained with it's own undamaged circuit board (looks like a resistance ladder?). It lifts away from the rest of the housing fairly easily. It seems to output on two ribbon controllers.
Anyone got any thoughts? I'm gonna google that chip and see what I come up with but anyone any experience with cannibalising this sort of chip or keyboard mechanism? It would be great If I could knock something together as they both look like quality components and it would be a shame to waste them!
