I will open it this afternoon to have look.any sugestions?
Damaged black keys are making sound when you press them ALL way down.
any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sticking keys
by: Dick Rector

Hi Bran,

Hard to judge on a distance but it sounds to me as something very sticky has been dropped on the keybed that 'glued' the keys together.
A good clean will usually do the job but you do have to open the keyboard. It also can be the underlay contact-pad that is broken. Keys do funny things if that is the case.
If you are NOT skilled in this it sure is not a DIY job.

Regards
Dick
