1.1 or 1.11?  mine reads "OS1.11 R32 (C)2001" so maybe your OS is old?
but I don't think that would cause the problem you're encountering.

you should have blinking brackets around the "Patch" menu.  you should
also be able to access it though :-(

have you tried accessing the Patch menu with all MIDI cables unplugged?
you might be sending a MIDI message to the SID that's messing things up.

if you get the same problem with all MIDI cables unplugged then I would
suggest:
1) reload all patches and see if that helps (probably not); then
2) contact Elektron to see if you need an OS update; it sounds like
your memory is corrupt and an OS update should solve that problem (I think)

I feel your pain, though.  I purchased mine used and immediately lost
all patches because the power connection was kind of loose.  The seller
said he never experienced this; but who knows.
