I’m a afraid I don’t have any way to look for an electrical scheme of the keyboard, I doubt one ever came out of Roland’s labs.
Anyway your problem is a simple rusty fader I’d say, being it completely analog these things happen. Grahite powder was a pretty bold try, but in your place I would first spray some WD40 in there after removing the plastic thingie, and move the cursor up and down vigorously a lot of times (but there should be specific sprays around for this problem), if that doesn’ìt fix the problem, and if I feel brave enough, I would go and disassemble that, but opening a fader usually leads to throwing it away in the end.
How do you know there is a damaged capacitor (how?)

Hey! First of all, thanks for the tutorial =D I have another problem, my volume fader is not working properly (it makes noises when moving it and in most of its positions there is no sound at all) -also, there is a capacitor that seems to be damaged-. Do you know where I can get the circuit diagram of the keyboard?

PS: A friend of mine poured graphite powder in the fader, but unluckily this did not fixed the issue.

Ditto.
Opening the dam thing takes some time, and easily more than 3 times the cleaning!

Awesome, fixed it for me too. My C key was recieving no velocity, however it worked fine after cleaning it.

But man, that thing has many screws. Unscrewing it took me about 3 times the time it took me to clean the damn key
16 little screws + 4 or 5 on the keys, x 2 (off and on). Yowza.

Thanks so much

if your kbd does that in keyboard velocity mode, then yes, definitely…

Read your post about the E-36. Key E7 is louder than the other keys on mine. Do you think it could be dirt on the contact?
