Did you try the bad cymbal in place of a working one?
Hey guys my son's Yamaha cymbal pcy130sc just stopped working today. Yesterday it was fine. It wasn't cutting out or anything out of the normal.
I did the normal cable check and everything is fine. I tried cleaning the cable jack and input with connection cleaner. I removed the cover and check out the pc board nothing there. I also cleaned the connections on the pc mounted ribbons and still nothing.
Anyone out there have any experience or helpful ideas? We have a set we need to play on Wed. for his 5th birthday and half the songs requires a ride.
Thanks, DAVE

If you determine that it is the pad and not the module based on the advice above, go to Yamaha's website you can look up local service shops. Also - how old is your kit? I'm pretty sure Yamaha covers stuff like that for a year after purchase. If you bought the additional warantee, you've probably got 3 years coverage.
Yeah did that as part of the cable check.
Thanks
Do the 130's have an adjustment screw on the bottom like the 135's? Try turning that while striking the cymbal, if not I'm fresh out of ideas...

Some questons:
#1-Do you see the cymbal pad's LED read out at the module when it's hit with a stick? My DTXpressIII module has a visual representation of each pad on the face of the module and a LED bar graph jumps up and down to indicate that the module is receiving a signal from the pad.
#2- If the answer to question #1 is yes, select the "voice" command and see if you see the actual parameters of the cymbal in question to see if all of the pre-set settings are still in the memory.
#3- If the answer to question #1 in NO, and you see nothing on the module to indicate it is receiving a signal from the pad, then it's either a bad cable, or it's a faulty pick-up sensor at the pad (defective pad).
Thanks guys.
Sense everything was working one day and not the other I think it shouldn't be the sensor as that would mean all three went at the same time. Yamaha said change out the input jack....
I'm gonna do that and order a new one.
Thanks again,
DAVE
