Speaker driver pushed in :@ [help]

[technominds]

I left a fan on by my Alesis MK2 monitor last night, and during the night it fell over and knocked my monitor onto my desk, causing the driver to be pushed in... i opened up the speaker but i cant access the other side of the driver..... are there any tricks to get it pushed back or am i completely f***ed?

Thanks for any help,
Techno

I've heard of putting a vacuum attachment over the indented part to suck it back out. You could also try some chewing gum on the end of a pencil. Either method may get the cone popped back out, but it will likely have some residual warping of the cone which may cause permanent distortion.

Thank you beyong belief, genius idea with the vacuum worked without hardly any warping at all..... although i just lifted up the speaker to find out it smashed a fader on ym desk so im not best pleased about that... but the montors fine now, thanks
