Press and hold "SPACE" & "DATA TRANS" buttons while you power up.
This only resets the D-50's system, it shouldn't reset the patches.
Do you get patch names, as I'm wondering if the internal battery is failing.
BTW the is a 'test; mode as well:
"SPACE" & "DECREMENT" allows you to check hardware.
"SPACE" & "INCREMENT" tests the audio.
