What exactly do you mean by this, is the connector sealed?
There is rubber/silicone seal around the inner recess of the socket connector, which I assume is for waterproofing when connected with the male plug.
I want to find out how to access the seal, to remove it, to replace it (just the seal).
To be able to do so, I first need to identify the name of the socket connector so I can search for its documentation.
It's probably a proprietary connector made specifically for Yamaha, or Yamaha made it themselves. It's loosely based on car connectors from what I can see, but I don't think you're gonna find much info about it.
I'd just go in "guns blazing" with this thing. If there is a replacement for it and it's fairly cheap I mean. If not, I'd try and pry the silicon off with some of my DIY tools for these sorts of situations.
That's the plan if I cannot find any info of this thing.
