Preliminary 

Loosen  the  3  internal  screws  at  the  extreme  right  and  left  ends  that  hold  the  keybed  in 
place

. It is not necessary to extract them from the holes they reside in. 

 

 

 

Carefully lift the keybed slightly up and out (toward yourself) an inch or so.

. You don't need 

to move it much. You will probably need to free up one or more cables to accomplish it. Or if you 
prefer, disconnect the cables and completely remove the keybed. 
 
This will give you access to the 3 screws holding the silver keyboard rail in place. 

Remove those 

three screws and set aside the silver keyboard rail

. (Shown here with keybed removed). 

 

 

 
 
 
You 

now 

have 

excellent 

access  to  the  DX7  main 
board.  If  you  do  remove  the 
keybed  you  may  find  it  easier 
to  remove  the  small  yellow 
cable  and  large  flat  grayish 
cable  at  the  main-board-end 
rather  than  from  the  keybed. 
You  will  also  need  to  unclip 
two  small  cables  on  the  left 
end  (mod  wheel  and  pitch 
bend).  There  may  also  be 
wire 

tires 

and/or 

cable 

fasteners to deal with.
