New motherboards.
Sorry for my ignorance in re: electronics, but are the RAM slots where the RAM is seated a part of the motherboard or is it a separate piece? Reason I'm asking, I'm supposed to be receiving a new motherboard and I don't want to have the same RAM issues that have been posted on this forum. Thanks to all.

There are two RAM slots and they are very much a part of the motherboard.drama1 wrote:Sorry for my ignorance in re: electronics, but are the RAM slots where the RAM is seated a part of the motherboard or is it a separate piece?

Motherboard
What is the model of the motherboard and should we all be buying an additional one for a backup in case of breakdown or will Korg have tons of them ready for when we need repairs?

Re: Motherboard
I am not so sure there is a need for tons of panic. Korg has been carrying spare parts for various key boards well beyond warranty. I think there is some language about keeping spare parts up to 10 years.robdevine69 wrote:What is the model of the motherboard and should we all be buying an additional one for a backup in case of breakdown or will Korg have tons of them ready for when we need repairs?
I understand some Kronos owners will be inconvenienced for a month or so. The individual service centers likely do not carry stock.
If it helps you, you can search on this forum for the Atom based mobo. I think its 3-4 yrs old and there might be a slightly newer replacement.
One more silly question. Since I'll be getting a new motherboard for my non-X Kronos, will the new motherboard have the same RAM and SSD as the X version? Korg wouldn't replace the motherboard with an older motherboard would they? Actually, I'd just be happy to have a stable working Kronos. I will say though, Dan and Korg have been very good.
thanks.
