I have an old Yamaha W5 keyboard that had been working fine, but after a couple of years sitting in the basement I cannot get any sound out of it. I plugged in my headphones and hear nothing. I did a factory reset which seemed to complete okay. But no change. Volume slider is up. I have fiddled around with Song mode and Voice mode. Set to different types of piano instruments ... nothing!
I feel like either I am missing something stupid, or it is broken and I should trash it. Any clues would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Re: Yamaha W5 - no sound
Hi Richard,
a warm welcome to the forum
Maybe the W5 has previously been used as a master keyboard and someone had set 'Local' to OFF'?
Please refer to page 148 of the user manual how to eventually set 'Local' back to ON...
Hope this helps...

Re: Yamaha W5 - no sound
Miks,
Unfortunately that did not do the trick. I think the factory reset ensured that Local was set to "ON". I played around with it, but no luck. Clever idea though. I appreciate you taking the time.
