Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

On the earleir poly 800 mk1 they didnt have battery back up but later changed that. All my poly vers mk1 have the batter back up 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. 
Peace

Hi
I supposed you have the poly800 mk1.  I do and the same things 
happens to my poly when the batteries is dead.  If the display show 
something weird like P1, you have to press the down button and 
you'll finally reach the numbers.  Someday, i thought my poly was 
dead because i had weird sounds, and weird display.  I change the 
batteries and load the patches (yes i still have the original 
cassette) and everything worked fine.
Don't give up and good luck.
