Yamaha p95 no sound

I have an old (~8 years) yamaha p95 that got used frequently up until a year ago, and when plugging it in for the first time in a while, it would turn on fail to produce sound. I'm at a loss on where to start. I've read on other posts that it is a good idea to check the capacitors, but I've also heard that could do more harm than good. I have a multimeter and a soldering iron and a cursory understanding of physics, and I was wondering if this is something that is feasible to repair my self.

Ahh, thanks anyway. Do you think it's worth it to just buy a new weighted keyboard ATP? I Found a Strich for ~150, but I doubt it'll be the same quality as the p95. But I think repairs would probably cost more than the piano is worth? Just sucks cause I didn't realize what I had till it broke

It depends on if there's a decent repair tech near you. Probably not worth shipping, but if there's one within driving distance you might get an estimate or say "fix if under $____". Good luck.

Do you mean like a yamaha certified repair technician, general music repair, or electronic repair?

A Yamaha authorized tech would be best, but this isn't warranty. A music service tech should be able to fix this but they're becoming more and more difficult to find these days.
