Re: Poly Evolver Rack wiped clean

2009-04-03 by ubiquitousblack

When I changed the ROM's recently for the hardware upgrade, I don't recall seeing a battery but I wasn't paying attention for one at the time, just the 4 voice and 1 rom chip.  
To avoid the hassle of removing and taking it apart again, does anyone else recall if there is in fact a battery inside?
