So, I've got a KRK Rokit 5 of this vintage(G1 I believe)
Pretty much every online post/video I've seen of the dreaded KRK Rokit noises is a whine, or crackling, or hum...etc
My Monitor is more horrible in nature..
It might work ok for a minute, then it emits a ear-piercing screech, followed by the woofer thumping in & out rapidly..
I can touch the woofer and that stops it..
I have the board out, and cannot see any goop of death, nor do I see any bulges on the caps..
Any recommendations as to what I can try/observe/read?
I have VOM, and o-scope available if needed, though I cannot find a schematic anywhere..
I'd greatly welcome any suggestions, as I sooo miss having these working properly..
Cheers,
Rich
ps. tonight, I decided I'd take a closer look at the boards, and hooked up power without an input, to see if it
behaved any differently than before.
I was amazed to hear no noises...then I realized I hadn't connected the ribbon cable from the input board, to the main board.
When I did that, and powered on, it then made the noises.
Does that mean that "input board" is bad?
Also, I notice that I can tap the enclosure pretty much anywhere, and it will start the noise..
