Subject: Hawk 800 Mod issues

Hello

I recently installed the Hawk 800 into my Poly 800 MK1. Everything went as planned per the directions up to the flashing process. The flash went as planned but when I hit prog/para after I end up in 11 H instead of 11 P.

There is also a constant mid/high sweeping sound regardless of keys being pressed. When I use the mood slayer cutoff to about 50% I can make it mostly become silent. The sweeping alters when buttons that transmit midi signals are pressed (the poly/chord/hold buttons, moving the sequencer speed slider, etc). I have tried reflashing it multiple times including with the beta software version. Do you think I may have damaged the circuits? Or could it be a loose connection from removing the board? Also if someone could send me a MK1 sysex patch dump I'd greatly appreciate it so I can test if it will load up sounds.

Thanks a lot,
Tom
