Discussion about the Korg PolySix synthesizer

Hello there the nightmare has begun just kiding I first got my 
polysix it was promised that it work perfect 
hahahhahahahahahahahhhahah
my main board was gone the things that where happing where all the 
lights where staying on and it would only make one sound that I realy 
got tierd of keys where not responding at all nothing work except that
old stupid noise over and over and over but it now works and it was 
totaly worth every bit of sweat its not hard at all you just have to 
know that the main board that the battery is on is almost always the 
problem the ic next to the battery could have bad traces under the ic 
chip so you should remove the ic chip first then review the board and 
traces u may have to replace the traces and then the battery should 
be replaced with a coin type battery the old crow has this all step 
by step take note that u should know how to solder real good take 
your time and read the info over and over let me know if you need 
help we could set up a time to chat and get that board up and running 
on chat on the computer that is 
later Sam
