Poly 800 mk1 playing up (still very workable)

2014-04-03 by <wrezal@...>

Hi all,

Last time I came here you where all very helpful and I found I just really needed a new PSU for my Poly 800 (got one now). Problem this time around is that I took my poly on a little trip and then it wouldn't turn on pre gig practice (I admit I didn't have a proper case for it) and it was making garbage sounds like just sounded like junk and there where some issues with lights etc.

I take it home and leave it a few days and then suddenly I can power it on again but the presets have all gone and now the headphone jack isn't responding to the volume pot (but still works). Volume pot also a bit crackly.

Have performed the moog slayer and an audio input mod on it, but could my bad soldering have messed something up inside or is this just a deeper problem?


Thanks all for the help!
Cheers,

Dave
