You have to sell your pa2x and buy pa3x.

Well if you insist to learn how to do it, you need to:
1)Find the contents of the bootrom of the pa3x.
2)Stop here as there is no easy way to get this and in case you have found that file you probably work for Korg so you already know the way to do it.
else
1)Sell your working pa2x and get a working pa3x!!

Don't get fooled by people on youtube saying they have done it...
It is easy to drop a pa3x motherboard inside the pa2x and for some people its easier to modify the look of the os but the functions are not there...
also there is a video of the same guy which is about transforming the pa500 to pa800 256mb ram and it still has the black and white screen in it to support his words... It isn't a b&w screen if you look closer and if you want to be 100% sure just press print screen, open any app that can change the contrast and brightness of a picture and increase them till you see the colors!!

Besides what's already mentioned, there's two additional ways of doing this as well:

The easy way otherwise known as the sticker method:

You basically get some sticker and upgrade or "transform" your keyboard's physical look. If you're going to do this, might as well upgrade to the PA4x or even higher!

The hard way:

It would require you to actually work harder a little and save up some money. There's a few users on these forums who had to work to buy the instrument! Hard to believe people choose to work and all that!

Judging from your first 3 posts, you strike me as a type of person who likes to do things legally, so worry not my friend. Both of these methods are %100 legal...
