Hello,

You cannot fix it yourself : you need to send it for repair.

With is it impossible to fix myself?
Is it necessary to preload ship?

What is exactly the problem when you switch off the synth during loading OS?

Thanks

As explained in the OS updgrade procedure, you may not shut off the Trinity during the upgrade.

You fired the internal FlashROM, you need to send it to Korg in order to replace it.

There is no user procedure to go back...

Merely out of curiosity, why did you switch it off during the upgrade? There are countless warnings all over the place explicitly saying not to do so. It's the same when you're flashing anything to permanent memory, not just the Trinity.

You can try re-installing the OS again, but if the procedure wont initiate there's nothing more you can do. You will have to send it back to Korg.

The Trinity OS upgrade procedure is very fragile and doesn't have a fail-back mechanism. If it failed, you have to send it for repair.

I just wanna say that Korg should have predicted this issue and make things more safe during OS up/downgrades
I am performing several OS up and downgrades due to the fact that i have both Solo-Tri and Moss-Tri Expansions. Each time i do this i am in a funk cuz i am afraid of power-loss during the procedure.

Once i was doing a downgrade and suddenly just like this there was a tiny short circuit that caused the safety relay of the Electric Board to drop cutting the Power. I was lucky enough because this happened before the Trinity flashed it's memory. If the short circuit happened during the "Don't Touch Me" warning then i would be in your position.

So Timo as you see it is not always a user's fault

Cheers
