This video is a guide I made that helps you work through taking the Nord Electro 2 apart and cleaning or replacing the bubble contacts. There are some written guides but I thought a video would help people who learn better visually, or reassure people who are freaked out about opening their keyboard. Needless to say, I'm not a keyboard tech, just a pianist -- but this is a really easy repair. For more info, contact me, Zach Lapidus, at www.zachlapidus.com or in the comments! Hope this helps you, let me know if it did.

You will need a normal size and small size philips head screwdriver, a mechanical pencil, and possibly some new contacts. The midi-store's website stopped selling the contacts -- here's the only other place I found the contact strip: http://syntaur.com/Items/4156.html. They are twice as much on this website (10.95)

The midi store seems to also have an eBay page, you can search eBay for "fatar contact strip" and find them for the cheaper price.
