GOD ****IT!!! i was ridin back into town from campus and my shit just cut out so i think my amp simply went into protect (bumpin for 45+ minutes) well i pull over and notice the part where the power wire goes into the amp, the big metal clamp thingy poped off

i go home, take the amp apart and the metal thing just comes right off, it has like 9 prongs that hold it in, and i can put it in and it holds somewhat tightly but when pushed at a certain angle it pops right back out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif

i know its a very minor problem but i want to know how i can secure it back in without it wiggling out of place? my friend suggested just use some super glue but i assume super glue isent at all conductive and would hinder the performance of the amp and/or melt under the heat and end up fuxing my amp totally up

here is a picture for reference

at the far right side at the top, the 2 metal things the top one poped off... help please!

unscrew the board, and resolder the pins underneath.

that's the only way you're going to get a good electrical connection.

god ****it, thats what i dident want to do, any other ideas?

on a plus side i found out the amp has already been modified lol, i was lookin for the q240 circuit and relalised it had already been removed , now i know why it was takin 1 ohm like a champ //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

that's your only option!

buy a $10 iron at radioshack. get some solder, and a protoboard. practice soldering some resistors. then fix the amp!

it's not hard, if you knew what you were doing it'd probably take less than 5 minutes.
