Just got the battery replaced on my Poly, and unfortunately it lost
all of it memory in the process. I never had to use the tape backups
before, but now its pretty helpful to be able to do that.
Unfortunately, I can't get my keyboard to respond to any kind of
input. I know that my cable is putting out signal (I hear the lovely
model-like screetch through headphones and see the voltage on my
multimeter) but I can't get a GOOD or ERR indication. It just sits
there and taunts me with the LOAD display. Maybe I'm inexperience at
this, or maybe I'm just dumb, could be both. So I tried the reverse
by programming a few sounds in by hand and then trying to save these
to tape. The display says SAVE but I get no output out of the jack.
I can't see anything on my level meters or on multimeter measuring
directly off of the out jack. I have followed my manual and tried a
dozen different cable configurations and patches with the same
result. Am I just this dumb? Help!
