for the jack, it should be a separate part that is attached to the PCB. it may or may not be enclosed in plastic. Under where the jack is located, you sill see two or three silver colored pads that correspond to the legs of the jack, check these for secure attachment, also check to ensure the traces (if its a green coated board, the lighter of the green colors) are not broken. if anything is amiss, you can 1) repair the item yourself, or 2) take it to a friend or shop who knows how to repair electronic equipment. in the case of 1 above, you would need a light duty pencil type soldering iron of about 20-30 watts. if any traces are broken, you can scrape the coating off with a sharp knife until you expose the copper. Then bridge the break with small gauge wire, soldered on both sides of the break. You problem is more likely to be at the pads for the jack though, and simply reheating them with a soldering iron so that the connection is repaired should solve your problem.

Ieasiest way to determine the problem is inside or outside before you open itSorry for the late response...I don't know what a PCB is. I opened up the drum machine and it appears that the little jack for the DC input (maybe that is the PCB?) is actually a part of the circuit board. I have tried other adapters with this one, and all the adapters that are finicky with my 606 work great on other equipment, so I don't think that's the problem. My theory is that the problem is in the actual hole where the end of the adapter cable goes, but I don't know what's wrong with it or how to fix it. I could take a picture of it if that would help you to figure out what's wrong. To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to: Electronics_101-unsubscribe@... Your use of Yahoo!
