GK 1001RB II amp repair - help!

Sounds like you shorted something somewhere. Best take it to a qualified tech to sort it out. Don’t risk any further issues.

 

Could be a broken trace on the board from the mishap.

Check closely for small breaks or cracks
And need to scrape away the solder mask and build a bridge if a trace is broken.

 

Tech time.

 

Tech time, and hopefully you haven't turned a $50 repair into a much larger repair from what you did.

 

There are not any shops in my area that would perform this repair for less than $125.
OTOH, the damage could be greater than that number.

 

Without repairing the additional damage, that's a 1 hour repair tops for a qualified tech. Say if it even $75, that would generally be a lot less than going in and mopping up additional damage.

 

Did you test your new jack and new solder joints for continuity on the board? If so, and it still doesn’t work, then get it to a tech.

 

Even more reason to take the unit to a qualified Tech.

 

Post some pics if you're not going to take it in for repair. jack, solder, anything you touched or replaced.

 

When you say facing forward and backward, what do you mean?

These are the guys you're talking about, right? I seemed to remember them being notched so that they could only be inserted the "right" way, but maybe I'm mistaken.

 

It's a goner, I'll give you $100 for it.

 

My memory is that they were a similar style... but I also only ever detached them from the power amp board.

 

I don't know about the construction of the 1001RB. On my older 2000RB, there are little wires in some of the holes where components are mounted instead of direct connection to the solder traces. The wires are actually twisted around the component leads when they are soldered. It's very easy to break the wires off when you remove a component. Without the wire, the terminal of the component does not have continuity with the circuit trace even though it is soldered in place

I suggest taking a look at the circuit board and tracing out the circuit path from the jack to ground and also the first component in the signal path, which should be a resistor. Check continuity between where the jack is soldered to the board and these two points. If continuity is broken, use use small wire to bridge the gap.

 

Weird that your's are reversible. Pretty sure the ones on my 2000RB and 700RB are keyed so they can only be inserted one way.

 

I would be shocked it they were reversible too. Now with enough force, anything can probably be reversed...
