Blue Screen - Roland Fantom (S/W updator) (B) message
Posted: 23:44, 15 February 2013
Hey everyone,
Long time, no speak. Is anyone still on this forum or have we all bought a Korg Kronos... ;-)
Anyway, I had the blue screen on power up issue earlier today with the message Roland Fantom (S/W updator) (B) showing and the keyboard wouldn't do a damn thing.
In case anyone else gets this problem, I have finally resolved it by doing a factory reset and then copying the ver 1.5 update (thanks Artemiy) onto a (Fantom-G) formatted USB stick and rebooting. The FG installed the software update over the top of the existing 1.5 software already installed and then started functioning properly again.
I also think that the problem was caused by me switching on the FG and then almost immediately booting my PC (the FG and PC are connected with the USB cable). Don't know if it managed to somehow spike down the USB line and corrupt the boot file on the FG or something but it certainly was no coincidence.
For the record, I have also experienced slow boot times of my PC if I switch on the FG before switching on the PC. I normally do the PC first and then the FG but I was in a hurry earlier and made an arse of my boot up sequence. Ended up costing me hours of my time...
Anyway, just thought it may be handy for future reference to share my (horrible) experience.
Cheers
Stevo..
