Display
The power is turned on, but nothing is shown
on the display. The microSTATION functions
normally when you play the keyboard or
perform other operations.

The power is turned on, but the display does
not work normally, or an error message is
displayed. There is no sound when you play
the keyboard, and the microSTATION does
not function normally.
