I need a genius !

I own a Clifton Stage Piano SP-5500 which I bought brand new in around 2010-2011.

When I switch the keyboard on, two lights flash together - "Record" and "Play / Stop" and the keyboard remains in this state, preventing me from using it.

I am unable to find out why this is happening and I wonder if it is a battery- related problem, although I can find nothing in the manual to tell me if there is a battery or where it might be located.

Anyone have an idea of what to try next, and how ?

I'd be so happy if someone could help me out with this.

Thanks in advance.

See your manual's Page 9.

Press and hold the YES and NO buttons simultaneously while powering up.

That should initiate a system reset.

Let us know if that works.

Hello Gary. Thanks for your suggestion but it didn't work. I'd love to hear from you if you have any other ideas, though. Happy Sunday

Check your keyboard for stuck buttons or controls.

Give all the buttons a good workout pressing them a few times and THEN try powering it up.

That is frustrating!
I am no genius but If Gary's button and knob workout idea doesn't work. . .
The keyboard maybe prompting you to record. Try recording a short piece . . Save it and EXIT.
The system may then go back into regular mode.
I really have no idea but that is what I might do.
