Bill Lewis Senior Member Registered: 11/12/08 Posts: 2450 Loc: Bluffton/Hilton Head SC USA	Originally Posted By Stephenm52 Ok I've got my biggest Christmas gig of the year coming up tomorrow Friday the 20th. I just shipped my SX900 to Florida, I thought I'd run thru some of the Christmas tunes for tomorrow's 2 hour gig. YIKES my Genos will not recognized the user area where I had registrations stored for both Christmas and non Christmas gigs. Since I cannot access the user area I cannot access the USB drives either where I have back up stored. Any suggestions? If I can't solve this the Pa4x I hope will come to the rescue. Steve Sorry for your trouble , wish I could help. But WOW you have 3 top shelf arrangers ? Your gigs must pay well. Just play the PA4X. Fis the problem later. Good luck. _________________________ Bill in SC --- Roland BK9 (2) Roland BK7M, Roland PK5 Pedals, Roland FP90, Roland CM30 (2), JBL Eon Ones (2) JBL 610 Monitor, Behringer Sub, EV mics, Apple iPad (2) Behringer DJ mixer

Stephenm52 Senior Member Registered: 04/13/05 Posts: 5126 Loc: USA	Bill, Thank you! My gigs pay what most of the others get here playing assisted living facilities. Ironically it was my previous non-music related employment that helped. The good news is I had used the pa4x for a couple of years exclusively before Genos, so my Songbook there is configured for a Christmas. I'm at the Pa4x now just rechecking my settings since I last used the 4x Christmas 2016. Edited by Stephenm52 (12/19/19 03:14 PM)

Stephenm52 Senior Member Registered: 04/13/05 Posts: 5126 Loc: USA	Originally Posted By tyroschuck You recalibrate touchscreen and now screen blinks certain times. Could this be related? Good luck. Chuck, I re-calibrated the screen after I discovered I could not access the user drive. One of the PSR forum members mentioned there is an SSD in the Genos, he thought maybe it failed. I think he could be on to something with that thought.

DonM Senior Member Registered: 06/25/99 Posts: 16735 Loc: Benton, LA, USA	Did you try hooking to the PC? You can use a to host cable. Hold Playlist button down while powering on, and that will put it in storage mode. Then you can see everything from the PC. If you can see the User drive, then at least the information is still there. _________________________ DonM

tnicoson Member Registered: 09/19/11 Posts: 85 Loc: Chicago area - USA	Per the Genos Service Manual, internal memory (That would be the User Area.) is a Toshiba 64GByte eMMC device (THGBMGG9T4LBAIR). eMMC stands for embedded Multi Media Card. It's what a lot of the Chromebook type devices use in place of hard drives. That's not quite the same as an SSD, but it is still solid state storage and subject to the same type of catastrophic failure. Looks like the PA4X is probably your best bet, Steve. Wishing you all the best - whatever you do ! ! ! Edited by tnicoson (12/19/19 04:55 PM)

I started checking over things on my Pa4x I got carried away playing and doing a few tweaks, that’s the baby that will be coming with me to the gig. Meanwhile a few minutes ago I hooked it up to my PC, although it shows the drive as being there it is empty and it wasn’t empty I had files stored there they should be there. That seems to say the built in drive on the Genos is gone. I’ve got that user drive backed up on 2 other USB drives just in case something like this happened. Edited by Stephenm52 (12/19/19 05:03 PM)
