Thanks for the help everybody! I guess it could be the battery
backup. I opened up my Poly 800 to do a filter mod and

battery? I have only preformed synth surgery once(filter mod) and
was sucessful.

all three of em. I hate leaky batteries.So I only load them when im
playing tours. I do have the diagram where to solder to if youd
like to add the battery back up.
