i switched on my PA1X and it booted up in about 60 seconds which is wrong, it should take about 2mins 30 seconds. When i went to select a song (not from the song book ) i got an error message that read ' Warning Device is not found or unknown format '
I get the same error message if i try a full system restore !

When i tried to select a song from the song book i got the error message ' Song selection resource not found'.

I cant access any of the songs i have recorded and saved on my PA1X !!! Its the first time it has let me down . Can anyone suggest what might be wrong and how it can be fixed ?

Sounds like some kind of hard drive failure.

Could be as easy as controllercard-failure or cable is loose.
Take out your HD and try it as a slave in a computer, or use a IDE-usb-controller.

u put this question also on pa800 forum.... it could be cable connector, but best way is to put out ur hdd and connect it to some computer for diagnostics...

Hi Worth,
Have you tried loading a backup SET file?
It could be that your Songbook folder somehow became corrupted.
Also what happens if you connect via USB to a computer - is your Hard Drive visible and functioning?
Also check your PM.
Best regards,
John

Hi worth my friend,
like Wings said - build out the hard-disk - save all your datas on your pc.

Then try to install your complete system (incl. OS by pressing Intro 1-button(at disk 1 when normally you´ve to press "ok") - this erases SSD) - then try to load your BKP (if you only have a SET you´ve to load the BKP from Korg first).

If this not fix your problem maybe you´ve to change the hd or the cable.

If that not fix your problem you´ve to bring it to Korg service.

Good luck
Detlef

thank you for all your suggestions . I will try over the weekend to check the hard drive and let you know whats happening. A few times i have switched it on and it did read the hard drive and function normally so i believe it is possibly the connector that is the problem but will see.

Thanks again

i opened the keyboard up and emoved the ribon cable connector and the hardrive itself. I then reassembled the hardrive and firmly pressed together the connector ribbon to the hardrive pins and put the keyboard back together . It is worming fine now so it may well have just been the ribbon connector had worked its way free.
Phew !!!!

Thanks again for all your help
