Have you tried holding down the Write button when you turn it on to enter diagnostics mode?

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.
