You must visit your official service center , otherwise you can't overcome this serious hardware issue !

thank you so much for apply if anyone know what part of hardware need to be replace? i would appreciate it

Nobody else except technical autopsy can reveal your hardware issue that can be from SMPS or Ram board up
to Bios rom data and CPU board that must be replaced in that case since you face booting problem !
Do not waste your time , visit service center , this issue can't be resolved by amateurs !

For each computersystem errors are possible and almost always it can be eliminated with a system-reset - also amateurs are able to do such systemresets without help of service-centers and without replacing of a motherboard.

Simple try to download pa800-Format.pkg or Pa800_os_res_V203.zip (HP korgpa/support/software pa800) to format internal SSD Memory as published by © 2008 Korg Italy SpA in that downloads.

At the end of a described procedure (starting with pa800-Format.pkg from USB with switch-on + Intro1) you should wait until the message "System Format Completed" appears. Then you should turn off your keyboard and you are able to load Operationg System and Musical Resources.

Maybe you are not successful with that cleaning-up a corrupted internal SSD-memory (but can not believe) - visit your service-center.

My dear friend , learn something important : When you see a post of mine there is always a good reason , since I have
no time to waste for charts !
So , when a system doesn't recognize media at all in order to reset or proceed to any other routine the user's role ends
and technician's role begins ...
Your opinion is always welcome , but advices to experts need first to read carefully user's issue description !

well im in LA i have to find service center and take it there, see what happen
i never had problem with pa80 i missed it big time

I've had a very positive experience with "Virtual Sound Technology" in Pasadena. (Authorized service center). This is the place that I go to every time something breaks!

If it is a fact to change Pa-motherboards after getting a bluescreen and unreadable usb-device instead trying to make a systemreset, i like to accept your advices and will prevent amateurish opinion of mine in future.

For my personal use the question remains what a Pa800-format-procedure is good for and how to determine the occurence of a corrupted internal SSD-memory. If that happens, why to change a motherboard?

You totally ignore man's issue and you keep mentioning of reset , blue-screen and motherboard replacing things !!!
Read again my initial answer where I explain malfunction possibilities and do not diagnose something particular just generally
speaking and service will discover the real issue , so wait it will be soon.
But If system can't boot and bios menu Power+Into1-2 doesn't function how my dear friend can you proceed on system reset ?
FYI : In case of bios issue , no service ever reprogrammed Pa bios Nand since they do not own dat file , and all follow
the safe way of changing motherboards or CPU boards ! Is it clear now ?
Please do not force me again to explain the obvious of tech world , if you face a problem just ask for an advice !

Hi atooraya,Antony

I encountered the same problem last year and since then my keyboard is lying like a garbage bcoz there is no service centre in my region where I live.
Kindly let me know if you get any success bcoz. I am now even ready to replace my motherboard. Just keep this thread alive until you found a solution and share with others please.

Thanks
Rocky
