I wonder what "process" is.

When replacing the battery on a 1R/w module, it is generally recommended to disconnect the module from power before replacing the battery. This is to prevent any potential damage or issues that may occur from power being applied to the module during the battery replacement process.

Once the battery has been replaced, it is recommended to reconnect the module to power and perform a power-on self-test (POST) to ensure that the module is functioning properly and that the battery replacement was successful.

It is also important to check the manufacturer's instructions for the specific 1R/w module you are working with, as there may be additional steps or precautions that need to be taken. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions in order to avoid any damage to the equipment or to ensure proper operation of the module.

Sounds like loss of memory\programming.Go to Korg website for download.

I this a USA keyboard, no country told. will only answer for USAredux1: simple.1: ask a shop to fix it.2: ask the maker for help KORG.https://www.korg.com/caen/3: never do downgrade, unless KORG said it is okay, and HOW. do not do that.guessing EVER.4: ask them. only They know, or find a real KORG forum we are NOT.like here?https://www.korguser.net/login.asp?OS=WIN&LAN=1&TOP=1ask there .

The analog cx3 uses old school organ technology where a single oscillator for each scale note is divided to put it in the correct octave. Its likley the c# oscillator needs to be replaced. This is a job for a tech rather than being user serviceable.

It sounds like your ROM battery, which the ROM contains and stores the patches for the keyboard, has gone completely dead and your keyboard is dead in the water. However, if you can get a MIDI to USB converter and get the battery changed, then you can reload the patches back onto the keyboard. I have worked on a Korg M1 Workstation and have had to replace the battery(CR2032) and then had to run a program called "MIDI-OX" which also gave me access to the patches needed in order to restore the keyboard to factory patch settings. http://www.midiox.com/ Take a look at this AFTER you have gotten the battery replaced. I will tell you that replacing most batteries is a very intricate job as, the bottom of the keyboard has to be removed, as well as a lot of the internal boards. I had to draw a diagram and mark certain pieces so I would know where they went and in what order they have to be re-attached. My advice is take it to someone who works on electronics unless you want to DIY (not recommended) to get the battery replaced. Hope this helps.

How to Initialize (reset), and preload on the Korg X2/X3/X3R Initialization: Hold Page Down and 0 while turning it on Preload: Disk Load (XSD00P) ROM Check: Hold Enter and 7 while turning it on. If banks names are lost, you need to replace the little round coin-pill from inside, which memorize settings while the instrument is off and disconnected from the power.

Did you try boot from the CD with the OS? is it the Same? Did you replace the hard dirive with another? Is the HDD/CD disk light flashing or illuminate during power up? It should!

Did you try to get to Global mode, and then check if the tune is 440 hz? Check the Global Settings. The tuning might either be altered or the key transposed..

Re boot the Korg and iMac. Reattach the USB cable and wait for connection.

The volume control must be have dirt in it. When you move it do you hear rustling noise. A quick spray of WD40 spray into the control will solve the problem.

If the buttons are just sticking at their sides in the panel, lube with a tiny bit of CRC 226 on a Q tip. Get the CRC226 at Home Depot in the electrical dept. If the button mechanisms have failed or plastic hinges have broken then replacement is only option. Losing 4 of these to same problem is RIDICULOUS... time to change brands.

The buttons are damaged or defective. Replacement may be the only answer.

Might be a case of opening up the M50 as the previous poster did and wiggle connectors and components until the sound is affected. If you have some electronics experience, it should be fairly easy to figure out which board to investigate.
