Monitor Knob Component Repair Posted on: 26.03.2013 by Jody Reebel I don't know if this is the right place to post this or not...First off I am using Behringer MS20 Monitors I was at a show, performing a few days ago. I had my laptop, and monitors, back stage, working on some music, and my gear was setup, on top of a huge cable bin/box... I went to move the bin over a bit, to get it closer to the wall, cause the plug had a lot of tension, and the wire some how got caught, and pulled the right monitor off... Which is the one, with the power unit inside... I didn't know the monitor was damaged, until I got back to my hotel room, and I noticed the Line 2 Knob, was pushed in, so I took a swiss army knife, and pulled the knob back out... Fortunately the actual monitor isn't ruined, because Line 1, which is 1/8" out, works, but the RCA out, which is Line 2, works, but I get a really staticy, crackly, distortion, cutting audio sound, when I play any audio... I am pretty sure, when the knob pushed in, that it ripped some sort of component, connecting the knob, to the actual monitor board... I am sure this isn't a really expensive replacement, cause one of the guys @ the show said, I just needed to solder back on the component that got ripped... Thanks, hope someone can give me some guidance, on what component, I need to purchase.... | |

| Gaynell Rydberg 27.03.2013 | If you don't plan on resoldering a ton, you can just buy one from Home depot for about 10 bucks. Chances are, the soldering iron your neighbor has won't be one of the very nice Hakko or Wellers (80+ dollars). |

| Gaynell Rydberg 27.03.2013 | I wouldn't trust the people at Radio shack to touch your electronics. Definitely do it yourself. |
