Yamaha P-45: USB not working?

[BKN4691]

I recently purchased a used Yamaha P-45. Everything works fine except the USB. When I plug it into a computer and turn it on, the computers don't even recognize that a new device has been connected. I've tried various cables (old, new, short, long, etc.) and checked all the accompanying literature I could find (Owner's Manual, Computer-related operations, MIDI Basics) and didn't find anything. My other keyboards connect fine to these computers.

After purchasing it I had to open it up to extract a penny that had been dropped inside and was rattling around. I suppose it could have shorted something out. I don't see any physical damage to the boards or connectors.

I only paid $150 for it and everything else works fine, so not the end of the world if the USB doesn't work.

BTW, this thing has 58(!) screws holding it together!

Any thoughts?

Thanks

"Any thoughts?"

Give it to the youngest toddler in the family and let his inner Mozart voice speak

And L20 on the 2nd photo probably burned a fusible link,

Thanks Garry. I'll check that.

Looks like it may have been a zener diode.

Above DM on your photo, you've got a blown capacitor.
Maybe?

Yep, blown capacitor.

Return it For a refund.

Thanks all.

It's not a cap. it's probably a diode

Same component body

Fourth image down, where it looks like dielectric material has leaked.

As it is with the apparent burnt out linkage there seems to be multiple issues.

Best to return it.

Wow, I completely missed that. I'm great with mechanical, not so much with electronics. I'm not planning to return it. I bought it locally off Facebook marketplace and I seriously doubt the person had any idea as it works fine otherwise. I'll either see if I can repair it as a learning experience, or just use it as is until it dies.
