    Jackson PC board question



    I just got a je1200 from a member here. Got it working except for the fact that Im a lefty and the volume pot was backwards. From an other jackson i own with a je1200 installed, i determined that the pot had to be attached to the board from the back side. So i unsoldered the connection pins at the board level and was able to move the pot to the back side. However now i get no volume from the board at all [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] When unsoldering the pot from the board, is it possible that I might have overheated/melted something within the PC board? If I put the pot back to its original position it still does not work? I,m going to check all of my connections but I thought I would just throw out this question to you all.

    thanks [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

    As a follow up:

    I can wiggle the pot while in the PC board--just dry mounted. When doing so, I either get a dead signal or a very LOUD hum--not the kind of grounding kind of hum.

    I've been playing with this thing for hours, just moving/shaking wires to look for some time of loose connection with no luck.

    HELP!!!!!!!

      <font color="aqua">Joe, it sounds to me like when you soldered and resoldered, you may have had the solder "bleed" over to one of the paths next to it and have possibly created a short. I have also had this problem when changing a volume pot and it's a pain to try and get the solder cleaned back off properly. Check and make sure to see that the paths are clean to each contact. </font>

        Dave, I know the contacts next to the pOt are ok. There is one other place I did some work with just prior. I'll cheCK that one out.

          If you're parents hadn't put your toys on the wrong side of the crib this never would've been a problem...
