Those are not error codes. It's the display reading crap. Try the initializer ion... Hold the red button, then power up. It should come up in calibration mode.

Hi
I don’t know the error codes but my advice is to check the power supply voltages carefully. I found that minor variations (2-3volts) can cause weird things to happen in that synth.

O.K. the PC Control Board was replaced with a used board, had the display and patches working, now I am getting intermittent problems with the power switch and the display reads PW PPPPPPPPP or HHHHHHHHH. where can I find the descriptions for the error codes for the Matrix 6? Anyone know what these error codes indicate?...Thank You
