Newly installed HAWK 800 problem

2012-03-10 by eshalsall

I just recently installed the HAWK 800 mod in my Poly 800 MK1.  When I turn it on the display flashes "88 88 88" and doesn't change to the "HA-800" as said that it should in the manual.  I tried to test all of my work after this happened.  I replaced the two original chips, desoldered the cpu write jumper and the synth worked fine with the original configuration.  I checked continuity on the ribbon connectors.  I also checked every solder joint on the hawk board and that the chips were in the right place.

I have the boot ROM v. 1.95

Please help

Thanks,

Ethan
