ktrip Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 A friend came to me today with a schecter omen 6, and needed me to fix it. When plugged in, theres no sound, but the wiring is all in tact and appears to be correct. To try and narrow down the problem I plugged a 1/4" cable into the jack and just measured the resistance. When I switched the pickup switch, the resistance stayed the same. Something didn't seem right. Also, the volume knob starts at a low 100 or so ohms, peaks around 120k ohms, and then drops back down to just 15 ohms when I turn the volume from 0 to 10. Any ideas why this is happenning? Anywhere that I missed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I did that. Every connection is solid though, I can't find anything that would keep it from working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 If it just quit working, one of the components is probably dead. You already know which one, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
