Greetings from the UK.
I managed to grab a pair of KRK V8 series 2 active monitors for the princely sum of £30, (around $40), which is a pretty good grab by my reckoning. The only issue is that on one of them, there is no output from the tweeter. There is output on the 8" driver, and the tweeter itself appears to be ok, (ie it works if I swap it with the the one in the other unit). My soldering skills are ok, my taking things apart skills are pretty good as well, (recently dismantled a Korg Trinity keyboard to get at and replace the touchscreen/LCD). But my knowledge of components is limited to knowing what they are and what SOME of them do, (basically if you chuck a load of resistors, capacitors etc on a bit of board then some kind of magic happens).
When I got the V8's, the dodgy one had 3 switches on the back that were all busted as far as I can tell, (suspect that it may have been dropped on its back and the impact on the switch shafts damaged the switches). I replaced these without a problem, (after finally getting to the supplier of parts to KRK).
I have a schematic, and also a pic of a board that is more or less the same, (it is from a V6 and there are some components on mine that are not on the picture). What I am after is where to start looking and how. My only test equipment is a multi meter, (a Rapid Electronics 210DMM). If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful.
Don't think I can attach the pics or schematic yet.
