kwakuemma Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Please I have a sonic port. Yesterday i connected a guitar via aux(1/8 plug) in because i didn't have a cable with 1/4 plug. Sonic port fell down from a table on side the side where the cables are connected. I found out that the jack has developed a fault (loose soldering joint, i think). When i connect the aux -in cable, it doesn't work; i have to exert small pressure before signal can travel from the guitar to the sonic port. i think some soldered joints on the jack have broken. I have background in basic soldering and electronics so wanted to fix it myself. I tried to open sonic port to fix the soldering but it would not open. I'm in Ghana and shipping to Line 6 for this small fix would be meaningless. Please help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cflyte Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hello, Did you get an answer to this question because I have the same problem. I have done an extensive internet search to no avail. So, I shall endeavour to open the unit myself to repair a simple job. If I destroy the unit in the process no problem. I will buy something to replace it from another brand, checking that I can open it if need be. Line 6 do not assist with any hardware problems, instead stating that any repairs need to be carried out by a registered repairer in the country that the person is living. Quite unsatisfactory really. I can and have done repaired other named brands I own. Inbuilt obsolescence. Needless to say I won't be purchasing any other Line 6 gear.

I would be surprised if the cables have gone bad, especially so soon on a new unit. And, like EDAdam, I've not even had it out of the house. No abuse and is handled with care in a clean area. I'll keep everyone informed on how this matter is resolved. My Herbalife Account Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
