Dunlop Wha Wha gone bad. :(

[Coyote]

I got a really nice dunlop cry baby wha and it's only a year old and it
quit the other week and I need to know on how to fix it.
If I hook it up it just dose nothing and if I click it down to shut it off
it's just like it's not hooked up (like it should be when it's off).
So when I click it down (back on) you can here a little bit
of a wha in the back round but then if you hit a string it just dose nothing like I said.

I would Like to get it fixed I love playing the wha and I can't live any longer with out it so if any one has any pointers that would be great.

Thanks for your help (for who ever wrights in). You guys ROCK....

I would first try putting a new battery (though I'm guessing you've done that). If that doesn't help it may have a bad pot. If the switch or input/output jacks were screwed up you wouldn't probably be getting a signal at all.

get a Morley,they dont use a Pot to create the wah sound
a Pot will wear out or get scratchy and noisy,Morley uses an optical eye
to read the wah pedal,and rarley messes up

Also try plugging in an ac adapter to it. My Cry Baby did the same thing and it turned out that the one of the battery wires had come loose. I plugged an ac adapter into it and voila - it worked.

Sounds like a bad solder joint. The volume pot rarely goes bad in a crybaby. Usually.. its a cold solder joint.

I did plug it up to a Ac adapter and it did not work so I will try to pull it apart and see if I can fix it...........

Thanks All.....
