Are you refering to the trimpot on the computer board ?

I don't know very much about it but on my Trident it did the same
when I set it to a cetrain position. This is how it was when I first
got it - powered it up and all banks/presets lite up. By ritating the
trimmer a bit it booted up correctly finally (bank 1 / preset 1)
