Hi, my EM-1 have some troubles. It froze during saving pattern (for 10 minutes) so I turned it off. But now it's doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYe7hcZX_0s

I tried factory reset, but this proicedure freeze also... Can someone help me?

EDIT: It looks like some of patterns are corrupted. Fort example - I can save pattern A43 but if trying saving to A01 it's freeze. Also I can't save global settings. So I think there is damaged memory.

So it appears to work?

I never owned an EM-1, does it always do that thing at the begining where it counts up the pads? The ES-1 does this when you load a new save file or sample, smae for ESX/EMX. does it do that every time you turn it on now?

It looks like it came up in 3/4 time signature. thats why you cant use the last 4 pads.

Do you have a sysex backup of your patterns/songs?

I posted a link in another recent thread to a service manual. IF you can do SMD rework you might replace the memory or CPU yourself....Otherwise probably cheaper to go buy a new (used) one.
