Schecter C1 Fr Hellraiser Electric Guitar with Floyd Rose Questions & Answers
So i went to go play my shecter today and i
The Schecter C1 Fr Hellraiser comes with EMG active pickups I believe, did you try replacing the battery? Also unscrew the ends of your 1/4 inch instrument cable and make sure they are soldered properly. I am assuming you are going straight to your amp, not through any pedals?
My acative stays on even unplugged on my bass
when you say on, do you mean the battery continues to drain? If that is the case, check the battery ground wire at the jack...has it been repaired recently? Sometimes techs reconnect it to the main system ground, which continuously drains the battery whether plugged in or not. Or...sometimes the battery ground wire tab on the jack is touching shielding (if it is loose and rotates)...that would cause the same issue...
Battery box connection
The two tabs usually are just installed into loose fitting slots, and the bend in the tabs is what creates the "spring" action (and contact) on the battery terminals. To reinvigorate the tabs, you have to bend the portion of the tab that touches the battery terminal into the box, but you HAVE to hold the half of the tab with the soldered wire stationary while you do it. It works well, but requires patience. However, sometimes you can't get it to work, in which case go to a music store and order a replacement box (Allparts.com often has what you might need).
Guitar serial numbers
That is a 2013, but Schecter does not code any model information into their serial numbers--just internal tracking and tabulation. Are you looking for the model or something?

The most likely case is that one of the main output transistors (if which there are many) is shorted. When the protect circuit senses DC on the final output, it will not allow the output relay to come on to protect the speakers from raw DC. With the power removed, you can check between each outputs Emitter and Collector and you will probably find close to zero ohms. From that point you need to unsolder each of the pins of the bad channel until you find the shorted device(s) and replace them.

No or very little sound from Fender passport
Depending on the model, there are four around that date, it could be the insert jacks are tarnished reducing the signal flow between the pre amp stage and digital power amplifier. It could be the power amplifier has failed. It could even be customer error in wiring.
This assumes there is the correct level of signal entering the input sockets of course.

Breaking Roland RD 600 hammers
The Roland RD-600 is a digital piano, and its hammer action mechanism is designed to simulate the feel of an acoustic piano. The hammers in digital pianos like the RD-600 are typically made of materials like plastic or a combination of materials to replicate the weighted feel of acoustic piano keys.
The breaking of hammers in a digital piano is not a common issue, and it's not typically related to the age of the instrument alone. Several factors could contribute to the breakage of hammers, and it's essential to consider the following possibilities:
- Excessive Force: If the keys are played with excessive force or if there's any physical damage to the instrument, it could lead to the breakage of hammers.
- Material Quality: The quality of materials used in the construction of the hammers can impact their durability. If the hammers are made from subpar materials, they may be more prone to breaking.
- Manufacturing Defects: In some cases, there could be manufacturing defects that make the hammers more susceptible to breakage.
- Maintenance: Lack of proper maintenance, such as cleaning and regular inspection, may contribute to the wear and tear of components, including hammers.
If you've observed a pattern of hammers breaking with regularity, it might be worth investigating the specific cause. If it's due to excessive force or physical damage, adjusting playing habits and taking care during transport can help mitigate the issue.
As for whether it's worth purchasing new hammers from Roland, it depends on the extent of the damage and the overall condition of the instrument. If the RD-600 is in good condition otherwise and you enjoy playing it, replacing the hammers could be a reasonable option. However, you may want to assess the cost of replacement hammers compared to the overall value of the instrument, factoring in the cost of a used RD-600 and any potential future maintenance needs.
