Clavinova CLP-240 Frozen control panel

All of a sudden our Clavinova CLP-240 is stuck in the last mode that was played. There is power and volume, but none of the other buttons work. Is there a way to reset the piano? How do we remedy this situation?

This fall when I returned to school, I was baffled that my CLP-240 was a half step sharp when untransposed. (I had always taken it for granted that one of the benefits of having an electronic keyboard vs. acoustic was that you didn't need to tune them!) After a quick Google search, I landed on this page. The easy-to-follow instructions about the C#-F-G# chord plus the metronome button worked! Thanks to all who contributed directions in the past!

Yes this works! I pressed C# F G# below middle C. Hold down that chord. At the same time, press the off button. Wait a few seconds, still holding down the chord, power back on. Then release the 3 notes, follow the directions someone posted above; the metronome button, etc....

My CLP-240's control panel has been frozen for years and I finally decided to give it one last go and the C# triad method works!

Huh?? NEW

I don't understand what "cis major" or "cis+f+gis" means? Can someone please enlighten me? Our keyboard did this exact problem and I am hoping to be able to fix it...but I have no clue what you all are talking about!

---------------------------

I'm guessing "cis" major was probably meant to be "C Sharp" major. The user might have tried to type the pound sign, for sharp, but the comment system output "is" instead. Just a thought!

by: Anonymous

Hi,

I had the same problem with my Clavinova CLP-240 and holding the uppermost c while turning the piano on did not help for me. So, I called to Yamaha's maintenance service and got these instructions:

*hold the cis major (e.g. cis+f+gis) from the third lowest octave while turning the piano on. There should now be 'rsr' on the display.

*Then use the metronome arrow up and go to 'r47' -test. Start the test by pressing the on/off button above the metronome arrows. If I now remember right, something like 'PAS' should finally end up to the display. If so, press again the same on/off button and you should now see 'r.4.7.' on the display.

*Finally, use the metronome arrow up once more and go to the next test 'r48'. Press on/off above the metronome arrows again and the reset starts. After a while there should be '120' on the display (like normally) and at least my piano started to work :).

I hope this will help you!

Try to make a factory reset.
The procedure is in your owner manual and is something like holding the highest C during power up.
Good luck
