Hello everyone.

It's been a while since my modded Poly 800 has been behaving
erratically. It will, all of a sudden, power off and on again and in
the process, it will lose ALL patches, leaving random-generated
patches (almost all unusable, even with "impossible" values such as 4
in the oscillator octaves). Has anybody gone thru this before?

I know the mods are not directly related to this malfunction, but as
the synth is not finally assembled (some screws yet to be tightened)
I was wondering whether a loose board could be the culprit. One more
thing: I managed to have the synth open during one of these
breakdowns and noticed that some of the diodes between DB2 to DB9
emitted a reddish light. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance,

Dave
