Thanks, I appreciate the info.

Do you know if it might still work via TRS cable/xps box?

Unfortunately, you’re probably correct. I’m hoping to maybe find a schematic to replace or clean up the burnt part.

I’ve posted here and already asked support. My variax caught on fire after an apparent shirt after changing the strings and putting new batteries in. Line6 has no replacement parts or pcbs, so I’m wondering if anyone has a schematic in an attempt to make my own? Unlikely, but my burnt Variax is useless otherwise. Thanks in advance.

Woke up to my Variax smoldering at 4am with a pungent burning smell. Need advice on how to fix (if fixable?). Ive read that others have had pieces of string fall off inside the bridge/pizzo pickups assembly (during string change) and embedding somewhere on the pcb and shorting it out. I assume that’s what happened to mine. Any advice on 3rd party pcb replacements (or whatever is burnt)? Apparently line6 doesn’t have these parts anymore and really don’t like dealing with their legacy products. Was hoping the burning smell was a stroke, that would possibly have been fixable. A suppose a regular 9v power system would’ve been too easy? Let’s make a wacky proprietary TRS/ethernet/battery way to get power to our firestarter? Varifukd Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
