Subject: Re: [korgpolyex] Whats wrong with my Poly 800?

I'm thinking try the cheapest easy method put batteries in the poly and then put the program set back in. If you dint have the factory tone set or any I think they provide it on this group. If not I will email you a .wav of a set of sounds if the machine works then always have good batteries in it or replace the battery back up. I think its the battery back up and that you use a plug in power source. So if thats true then go the cheapest easiest way. As far as the sounds go at least you should be able with power supply or good batteries to be able to program a sound and have some sort of normal reaction. SO twiddle with the it and see if it is holding parameters you choose make a sound then save it . If not then it needs to go to the shop. At 70 an hour to 35 and not very smart people to work on them good luck.It might Be easier keeping it as parts machine and buying another on ebay. Average price is 75 to 145 American yen....
Peace

I think my beloved Poly 800 might be close to death. About two
weeks ago when accessing parameter 86(receive chanel)
instead of a two digit number, the display read P1. Somehow the
first number turned into the leter P??? A few days later, I turned it
on to find out that the memory has been erased. Now, it dosn't
seem to respond when I try to reprogram it? I'm thinking that one
of the chips or the internal battery went bad. Can anybody tell me
what I could do to get my P8 working again?
