Casio CTK-3200 Key Replacement

Introducción

If your Casio CTK keyboard (model 3200) has keys that are sticking, not working, or broken, use this guide to replace them.

The keys are the plastic material that you press on to make the sounds. The keys are pressed and they register that motion by applying pressure down on a button below them.

It makes noise by relaying that signal through the main board, transmitting the press to the speakers which create the sound for that specific key. If any part of the key is broken, you may experience it not making noise or just sitting flat. If that is the case you will have to replace it.
