Korg Forums

I have been recently having an intermittent problem with my Korg CX-3. Occasionally when I first power it on, the screen reads ipl v2.01 000422ab
When this happens, none of the lights come on and it doesn't make any sound. Sometimes, I can turn it off and right back on and it works, sometimes it doesn't. I try unplugging it and plugging it back in, and that seems to have no effect. It has always come back on eventually (the longest it has taken is probably 30-45 min)

I initially had this problem 4 or 5 years ago and when I searched online about it, someone suggested hitting it hard on the top of the keyboard (percussive maintenance). Amazingly, it worked and I have not had this problem until this last week. This time, though the banging didn't work, and I would like to properly fix this issue before it screws me at a gig.

I was amazed that I couldn't find any info about this online (and also amazed that this Korg forum didn't have a CX-3 forum topic!)

If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
