The Casio CZ-1000 powers on with the flip of a switch. If you find that your Casio CZ-1000 does not power on due to a broken or malfunctioning power switch, follow this guide for a step-by-step on how to replace it. You’ll need to know how to use basic tools like a soldering iron and a lint-free cloth, as well as some patience if you are new to soldering.

  Using a Phillips #1 screwdriver, remove all 14 5.5 mm screws from the two motherboards.
  
  These screws secure the motherboards to the keyboard assembly and the dial on the right side.

4. Step 3
  Carefully cut the zip tie located in the right-hand corner using a pair of scissors or wire cutters.
  
  Be sure to avoid cutting any nearby wires or components.
  
  Gently slide all the plugs out of their sockets.
  
  This will prevent them from catching on anything or damaging the connectors as you lift.

3. Step 5
  Heat the soldering iron and use a desoldering braid or pump to remove the solder from the pins of the old switch.
  
  Once the solder is removed, gently pull the old switch out of its place.
  
  If the replacement switch doesn’t have pre-attached leads, you’ll need to solder wires to it. If it has leads, align them with the matching holes on the PCB where the old switch was connected.
  
  Position the new switch in place, ensuring the leads align correctly with the pads on the PCB. Solder the leads securely, using just enough solder to create a strong connection without any excess that might cause shorts.
