Hello

My korg Poly 800 II have these problems;

- when i turn it on , the led turn on, but it takes 1 or 2 min that the sound comes, and the pitch is tuning.

Do I have a power failure somewhere, or a reset failure ?

Suggestion:
Open the synth and look for corrosion from battery leakage (dry cells)
Everyone goes crazy about the NiCad cell in the PolySix, but good old dry cells can do far more damage !!!. I just bought a Mk II with such problems: WHAT A MESS !!!! Had to buy a board from a Mk I to get the connectors...the pins were eaten away! I got it very cheap knowing it was dead. I enjoy a repair challange.
