If the G-70 no longer responds… (PC)

1.
Hold down the G-70’s RECORDER [REC] and [TOP] buttons while switching it on.
When the message “All data in the internal memory will be lost” appears, press USER PROGRAM [1].

2.
Press the USER PROGRAM [1] button to format the G-70’s internal memory.
CAREFUL: This will erase all internal settings (which may no longer be usable anyway)!

3.
Wait for the message “Power Off and On Again” to appear, then switch off the G-70, wait a moment, and switch it on again.

4.
Connect the G-70’s USB port to the USB port of your computer.

5.
Press [MENU] > [USB DATA STORAGE] > [INTERNAL MEMORY].
As soon as the connection has been established, the G-70’s display shows “CONNECTED” (USB DATA STORAGE page).

6.
On your computer, open the “My Computer” window.
There should be a “Removable Disk” entry that refers to the G-70’s internal memory.

7.
Insert the ROLAND USB CD-ROM that came with your G-70 into the computer’s CD-ROM drive and open the “Factory Data” folder.
In the top menu bar, select “Edit” > “Select All”.

8.
Drag & drop all folders to the “Removable Disk” icon (i.e. the G-70’s internal memory) whose window you opened above.
If a warning appears that the target area already contains folders of the specified names, tell Windows to replace everything.

9.
When all files have been copied, terminate the USB connection using the tray icon at the right of your computer’s tool bar.
The tray icon related to the USB connection looks like a green arrow on top of an electronic device.
Leave the mouse pointer on this icon and wait for the “safely remove hardware” message to appear.

10.
Using the left mouse button, double-click this icon to open a window that lists all hardware devices that are currently connected to that USB port.
Select “USB mass storage device” and check at the bottom whether the device description refers to your G-70 (“G-70 mass storage device”).
Click “Disconnect”, and in the next window “OK”, then wait for the message that informs you that you can disconnect the hardware.
Click “OK” to close this window.

11.
On the G-70, press the [EXIT] button or [DISCONNECT] field.
Press [MENU] > [UTILITY] > [FACTORY RESET] and press the [EXECUTE] field in the display.
Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.
