I spring cleaning my keyboard(Roland Fantom S88) today.

I/O and processing board

Expansion and Ram slot area.

keybed(heaviest which I think contribution 70% of the keyboard weight)

That's brave! I wouldn't dare open it up - fear of not being able to put back again!!!

Actually. this is my second time opening it up. The first time I open it up due to smart reader not working properly. I wanna save the repair cost so I opened it up. Plug out and plug in the related ribbon/flat cable then all work properly.

This time just wanna clean the edge of the white keys, so I opened it up the second time. I am surprised that the PCB board for the keybed(4th picture) is better than all other PCB board in the keyboard.

all synth player would need to open up their gear to put in additional cards

Most synths let you add expansion cards without opening the unit in its entirety, and for good reasons. At the most, it's just a screw-on cover at the rear.
