Poly800 with Hawk 800 and Atomahawk not turning on

Poly800 with Hawk 800 and Atomahawk not turning on

2016-03-29 by serosario@...

Dear group,

Hope you are all well and you had a nice Easter.

Something strange happen to my synth and I am trying to understand what I have done wrong.

I have installed hawk800 kit successfully, played with the synth for a week, tried also the midi communication, everything working perfectly.

Yesterday I have decided to install atomahawk as well and when I turned on the synth it didn't show any sign of life.
Nothing on the display.

I have tried to measure voltage directly at the back of the connection with the plug inserted and it shows something like 3.45 V...I assume it should measure 9V...or am I wrong?

So I am wondering if I have done anything wrong with the atomahawk installation.
Does it have any influence on power supply?

If there is no possibility that the atomahawk have caused this, I reckon it is something major to the synth then.

Really appreciate your help.

Thank you

Sero
