Reboot
by: Dick Rector

Selamat......

Personally I have never heard of a virus in a keyboard but suppose it is possible. My knowledge is very limited with these things.

A general reboot for most Yamaha keyboards is done by holding down the highest WHITE key while you power up the keyboard.

A factory RESET is done by holding down that same WHITE key + the nearest 3 BLACK keys while powering up.
This factory reset will normally ERASE everything in the USER area but brings the keyboard back to the situation as it was when it left the factory.

I would try option 1 first and if you are connected to other stuff, like a computer, disconnect it and find out what is doing the bad things.

Please let us know if this solves your problem so we all can learn from it.
Good luck

Regards

virus????
by: Dick Rector

Hi Prasanth,

I doubt you have a virus in the PSR 3000, NEVER heard of it.
If you read the other comment I have given, you know how to reboot (Factory reset) you keyboard.
If that doesn't help try to describe the problem and we might find a solution.

virus????
by: Dick Rector

Hi Sexer,

I am afraid you are not correct here, in the types of keyboards described yes, very unlikely a virus but in the bigger boys with a sort of operating system it could be possible to have an ill-minded person to 'create' something nasty.

Reset
by: Dick Rector

Anonymous,

It's only polite to give a (nick)name special when you ask for help!!

Do the factory reset as described before and that will bring your keyboard back to the status as it came out of the box. It CAN NOT ruin your keyboard and you can NOT have a virus in your model keyboard.

If that doesn't work, something else is wrong. Come back to the forum but a least give a name.

For anyone reading this.
This is the last time I react on an anonymous message!

Reset
by: Dick Rector

Hello Rafael,

Sounds to me that something is wrong with the electronics.
Try the resets first and there are two ways to reset your keyboard.

1. Is what I call a mild reset and that deletes everything in the on-board flash-memory that wasn’t saved in user-area’s or on a flash-stick or so.
You can use that anytime and some people (like me) do this reset almost every time I power up my keyboard to make sure it is a ‘fresh’ start.
-Hold down the most right white key while powering up. This takes only a few seconds.
That’s all!

2. The second method is a different story.
It will bring your keyboard back to the status as it was when it came out of the box (unless something is really broken of course!)
This is a FACTORY reset and you should only perform this if the keyboard is really confused and acting strangely like in your case.
-Unplug the power for 10 seconds
Hold down the same most right white key PLUS the nearest 3 black keys while powering up.
Keep in mind!!!!!
This action will delete EVERYTHING that is stored in User-Area’s, like your songs, home made voices, registrations etc. including the owners name (depending on the model). So make BACKUP’S first if that is still possible and if you have some work saved.

You don’t have to worry about all the internal factory-styles and voices etc, these are stored in non-erasable memory and will be still there.

If this is not bringing your keyboard back to life as it should be, you need a qualified (preferable a Yamaha trained) repair-person.

I hope this works for you.
Regards
Dick
