Systematic Evaluation of Solution Equilibria: Help Me Solve Dark Chemical Magics

Okay, so there is one problem that I absolutely cannot freaking solve because of all the equations involved.
I have a solubility equation.
I have a K1 and a K2 (one of the products of the solubility can be diprotic or monoprotic)
I have the correct mass balance and charge balance equation.
Thankfully, the pH is fixed at 4.00, so I know the proton concentration is 1 x 10^-4.
Knowing that, I should be able to plug that proton concentration into the K1 and K2 to eliminate some of my variables.
I then relate the partially solved mass balance equation to the solubility equation, but it never comes out right.
Is there a special way to approach these problems?
