One more thing you mentioned 9V reverse polarity.how did did know? That is, which is positive the center pin or outer barerel of the connector? Please check carefully before inserting.

This is just a start, after this examine the block diagram and the trouble shooting tips in the service manual. You will need an oscilloscope for this or at least a frequency counter. If these voltages are present and correct then go on to the CPU IC18 UPD65010. The negative is tricky, it's marked box "E" at C11 10uf. Look at box designated "A" and "D", it stands for Analog and Digital. Look at the power schematic at lower left hand bottom of main pcb KLM 1032. As usual as per service manual, check for +5 and -5V as these are the main voltages used in the circuits.

This mod simply adds a small lithium cell backup battery that keeps the memory intact when theres no power source. (just noticed I referenced the wrong page late this morning, ) Thanks in advance Cheersīriefly.You have been blindly replacing components based on other's experience which may not be same as your's. Early model mk1 Poly800s do not have a memory backup battery and so unless you keep a full set of charged batteries installed at all times the program memories will be lost when you switch the machine off. It is on the page after 18, titled "circuit diagram" cut halfway off scan.

Im not really sure how to proceed… Could anybody explain how this power section is working? If anybody could take a look at the schematic and chime in, that would be incredible. I recall reading something about a hartley oscillator being used, q18/q17. If I remember correctly, I was seeing +5v, but I wasn't seeing -5v. So I started off replacing Q1, a nec 2SB44A, as well as a zener diode (as I read this being common, and Q1 tested bad.) this did not resurrect it. This keyboard took a drink of beer at some point.

This keyboard uses a 9v dc wall wart with reverse polarity, so at first I expected the problem was the wrong power source got plugged in. One of the synths I wanted to sell was the Korg Poly 800. I had some synths where I just couldn't find a nice spot for anymore and after the Musik Messe I really want to buy the Roland Jupiter 80 and Korg Kronos. Now I have been solely focusing on it basically. As you might have noticed I'm currently selling some of my synthesizers. The Poly-800 could be run off batteries and had guitar strap pegs. CAN sound amazing, if you program your own sounds in a right way. Vintage used Korg Poly-800 8-voice synthesizer keyboard, not in proper working.

In this movie I am showing you some of my own sounds - no external effects or eq were used. Was given to me and I have had it open for over a year, I would really like to put it back together for good. It has MIDI, runs even on batteries, and can be used as a remote keyboard.
