PA800 is producing noise
Hi,
My Korg PA800 is giving a hissy noise with all instruments. Its like 'zzz...' an FM radio which is not tuned properly. I am unable to use the keyboard because of this. Anyone has any idea why this is happening ? A few more hits to isolate the issue are:
The sound appears on all instruments
The noise increases with master volume increase
Amplifier and power supply seems to be ok
The noise appears in head phone also
Can anyone have any idea which section will be causing this issue ? Mine is out of warranty and I have opened it fully and checked. I can't see any physical damage to any components like a burnt resistor or a leaky capacitor. A bit techy thing.
I cannot afford Korg service centre charges. If anyone can give a hint which card might be wrong, I can order and change that card from Korg
Any help is appreciated
Thx

Hi, sorry for late reply. I was busy with work and didn't get time to look into forums. My pitch bend works fine. I have notice only one additional problem. The front USB doesn't work. It detects stick, but doesn't read. But the rear one works fine.
I had reloaded OS to 2.01 after formatting. Still no luck. It could be something before amp. either DA converter or pre amp or anything. Or might be the TC helicon voice processor.
All the voices are working, but with the zzz noise. I couldn't use the keyboard for about 2 months. Korg service centre said they will charge £60 an hour and an inital quote fee of £30 + spare parts. I am sure the parts might be in the range of £200 +. Puretech solutions quoted £75 for service, but they are far for me, Swindon. Cimple Solutions quoted £150 for minor faults and if not they will give quote.
Since many users are having the similar issue, may be many not in the forums, Korg should look into this matter and contact us or replace the product with a non faulty. I have already told many of my friends not to buy Korg again.

No, when I switch on the keyboard it is working fine after 1 or 2 hour start making noise with playing drums.some1uk03 wrote:After you switch on the keyboard, is the sound there automatically?
OR
does it appear after you've pressed a key on the keyboard?
Then I have to restart the keyboard.

If its making it after some time.. I think you may be lucky.
Check out my post a while ago... Some Sounds cause Hanging/Freezing/Dont Fade
Once this happens, try pressing... SHIFT + Start/Stop and see if the sound goes away.

But it is doing only with user instruments not with the factory instruments
I load the factory Global ,didn't help if that is a ram problem is it possible we change the ram?
I don't know what to do I can't use this keyboard any moor.
