mystery fluid leak from my piano keyboard

[blokewhoknowsnothingabouttech]

hey people! I have a question about a problem with my yamaha keyboard, can you help?

when I recently moved my Yamaha PSR 150 some fluid leaked out of it. However when I put it back on the stand it stopped leaking and hasn't leaked ever since and works perfectly. what could this fluid have been?

thanks in advance

it happened a while ago but I believe the colour of the liquid was clear

I assume something was spilled and never dried out, when you tilted keyboard than it spilled out.

I didn't spill anything on it, ever. I don't know if it was battery fluid leaking out, but like I said, it worked fine and still does now

If you cleaned it after using it last time it may be residue from liquid on the rag, outside of that it maybe battery acid, manual says when not using PortaTone, remove the battery to avoid damage due to leakage.

I think it could be that.

Sounds like you should carefully check the battery, being careful not to spill any more liquid.

Hi
If you moved it from a warm humid area to a cooler drier one it could have been condensation.
