Definitly a dataline problem...also check if the datalines reach the pull up resistor array next to the cpu. i had similar problems with the waveform and octave switch. battery leakage had destroyed the pads coming from IC31 and the rsistor array.

Hi,

   Maybe you have fixed it already?  If not, check D0 and D1 connections
from KLM367 to the front panel.  It seems like maybe one or both of these signals
is not connected.   Measure right from the chip on the 367 board since there could
be a bad trace.  IC31 pins 6 and 11.  Seems like one of these is not getting to CN10 or CN06 on the KLM367.

Subject: [PolySix] [Issue Debug] EG, Octave, buttons strange behaviour.

 
Hi all there,

a friend of mine who have a P6 alredy repaired by me, called me describing strange behaviours.

The P6 suffered a wery little leakage on a minimum area.
Its major issues came from a big touring life, this P6 was really smashed to bits the first time i put hands on it.
No screws, big deformations on chassis due to huge hits suffered, one of them slammed the klm367' connector cn10 which needed a complete replacement with standard row connector, more than this lots of potentiometers were reduced to mere debris, broken patch buttons and so on.
I've fixed it giving him a new life.

Now after few months, the p6 is suffering these issues:
- 4' 8' 16' pot is partially working, it drives from 4' to 8', then once turned to 16', it goes back to 4'.
- EG ADSR functions work only if "phase" is selected on effect switch, on other selections it drive to "gate" mode.
- WAVEFORM switch remains stuck to pwm at any selection.
-  if A1 A2 B1 B2 patches are selected, the led lights up in non proper way, ligthing both A-B and 1-2 buttons., other patches work flawless.

Checked the traces of newrow connector, everything seems fine.

Started the reset calibration with dummy 56k, ok.
Then the a/d, i cannot get the 1 and 8 leds on only.
I've tried a lot on Vr6 Vr7 but the best result is 1-2-8 leds on, but it's not a big deal.

Any suggestions?
Thank you.
