Casio has the User's Guide for the CTK-496 on their support site. The direct link to the manual is http://support.casio.com/pdf/008/ctk_496_700_e.pdf .

I hope this helps.

The jack for the power supply is soldered to the circuit board. It is likely you have bad solder joints. Keep careful track of which screws go where and you should be able to take it apart enough to get to the solder joints. The screw holes are on the bottom.

You can use this keyboard via MIDI to send note on/off information to FriutyLoops. Use for control functions will be somewhat limited to voice change, velocity, and aftertouch.

Sorry, but many of the low end keyboards do NOT have backlights. This is especially true of those that have the capability of running off batteries like the CTK-496.

The display in this is a reflectance type that needs ambient lighting to view.

Unfortunately your model of Casio only has midi in and not midi out. You will be able to use it as an external sound module but not to input notes into Fruity Loops. In other words midi out of your computer to midi in of the Casio with the proper settings will play your Fruity Loops sequences through the Casio.

Try downloading MidiOx and troubleshooting with it. It will show you if you have any midi activity and which channel your Casio is transmitting on etc.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling both the keyboard and the game. If that doesn't work then the keyboard may not be compatible with the software.

Unplugging and taking batteries out for 15 minutes should reset it back to factory.
