I would really like to give my motif 6 a good air dusting but there are a lot of screws underneath so its not immediatly obvious which ones to undo for access to the innards - any suggestions please?

Thanks,

Geoff

Re: remove casing to airdust?

Leave it closed and use a vacuum cleaner on the outside of
all buttons and between the keys.
Use a small brush first and then, on full power, a narrow nozzle.
If that ain’t enough you’re ready for a real service at an authorised dealers’

;JOOP!

P.S.: I meant the gear .................

Re: remove casing to airdust?

Thanks; I’ll give it a good clean; by yr method but I really would like to open it too.
The background to this is that it’s been a bit temperamental recently and I want to make sure that it isn’t because of overheating, like might happen in a pc.  I live in a dusty house (heated by woodstove & surrounded by large wild garden, living with hairy dog & 3 cats, so I can never completely get rid of dust) and even though I try to cover my equipment sometimes I forget to and some dust will always get through anyway, no matter what precautions I take.
My nearest dealer is 100+ miles away and I don’t want to make that journey- twice- to do what must be reasonably simple!  I clean my pcs about once every three months, so the thought of going to see my dealer once or twice a yr ain’t very appealing. I imagine it’s a simple operation to blow out the dust - if I know the correct way to undo the casing!
Oh btw I have upgraded the firmware, few months ago, so I don’t think that’s the problem.

Re: remove casing to airdust?

My goodness, what has the firmware level to do with the mechanical parts???????

DO NOT OPEN IT, a motif is not a PC.
A PC has one or more fans that blow all dust through the case.
A Motif has not, all dust comes from above and can only fall between the keys.
The vacuum cleaner will reverse this easily.

Temperature? If your keys melt you won’t play a note anymore.
If your dealer is so far away, don’t take any risk of damaging the thing.

;JOOP!

DO NOT OPEN IT

DO OPEN IT!! Just remember to close it back!

a motif is not a PC.

Yes it is. It has keys; monitor; board; power supply ; a case, and can scroll through pages. so there.

If your dealer is so far away, don’t take any risk of damaging the thing.
