Went to update my KP3 to v.2 and my computer froze then restarted!
now my kp wont turn on. Is this somehow recoverable or is it a send-to-Korg job?

probably you will have better luck getting an answer from korg than a bunch of random internet dwellers. call em!

Phoned korg today.
Turns out it will cost me ~£200 to fix the KP3!! £200!!!!
So for £100 more i can get a brand new one.
Is it just me or does it seem ridiculous to anyone else that, if your computer crashes during the upgrade process it kills the hardware?! Resulting in a mammoth bill, equivalent to 2/3rds the cost of a new one.
I assume no-one has an old KP3 lying about that they'd sell the mainboard and volume slider from.
And has anyone successfully hacked the firmware on these?
