Hey dudes.

I have a problem with a 6 Slot MVS.

If I turn the volume up, say, 75%, I get 75% sound, but if I put it up to 100%, the sound goes away completely. Silence.

Anyone else have this problem, and solutions?

I haven't heard of this particular problem, so I'm not speaking from any experience.

Though, I do know that the volume is controlled with a slide potentiometer. It's concievable that the slider is dirty or damaged so that at 100% it doesn't make contact anymore.

Does the headphone volume have the same problem?

Ok, I'll do that... Main symptoms from what I remember are sound from 0 - 75%, any higher it cuts out. If I reduce back to 75%, comes in again... Might go by and check it later today... :)

Thanks for your help...

The problem is fixed. My bro told me that the sliding pot needed to be cleaned ( slight application of contact cleaner followed by compressed air ).

It works all the way now! :D

Point taken...

The post was only made, because the board I was trying to fix is somewhere else other than my home...

Rather than making 2 trips, wanted to make sure I can try several different things if cleaning it didn't work... ;)
