Many of the oldest Poly 800s don't even have internal batteries...they
will have an ouitline on the pcb where one should go, but not actually
have one. If thats the case, or if your battery is just dead, you will
lose your patches every time you pull the power plug. If there were
patches in there before that sounded 'programed', yet the power cord
was often pulled out, then you probably just reset it all by doing the
mod. I added a battery to mine at the same time as the mod, but before
then had to always keep it plugged in :((
