Tutorial: Virus Ti Polar - Keybard Fix - Contact Cleaning

[ravecreator]

Hey Guys, i had 2 dead Keys on my Virus Polar, no tutorial was found on
the internet, so i made one myself about open and cleaning contacts
on a Polar. Picture description is in german language, but i think the
pictures will speak for itself.. aprox.time for the complete procedure
(for me) was 45 minutes. (i never opened a synthesizer or keyboard before)

i hope this little tutorial is hepful for those who have the same problem...

I have a dead key on my TI2 polar as well and your photo tutorial was a big help - thanks. I'm also trying to replace the LCD cover as it's scratched, but it seems to be screwed in from underneath the PCB :(

If anyone has successfully replaced their LCD screen cover on a TI2, please let me know the trick of getting the old one out.
