Members Timmott Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Long story short I lent my friend my Line 6 DL4 and apparently it got leaked on through a hole in his jam spaces roof. I tried checking to see if it works with batteries but it didnt power up. I would try the power cable but said friend lost it . Is there anything I can do to get it working again? I'm opening it up right now to check for oxidation or any obvious damage but I'm not too sure what to look for. Any help would be appreciated!

Members Wyatt Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 You don't own a broken DL4, your friend does. I'm a 100% serious. This isn't your problem, don't spend or money on it. He either has it fixed or replaces it. And Line6 will sell him a new transformer. Don't let him make a sap out of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Timmott Posted March 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'll try to work something out with him and see if he'll get me a used one or something. He's really shady sometimes though so I might be {censored}ed on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no clue as to your age or position in life, but usually, as people get older we find we don't have the time and patience for users and let them fall away. Unless they are family, then we are stuck with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CoqBelliqueux Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Contact cleaner everywhere in all little corners might make a difference. Let it dry for an hour and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortantely it doesn't take much current leakage when something shorts to blow a chip. A few V in the wrong place and *zap*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Timmott Posted March 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah he's been real sketchy lately..I've been thinking about cutting all ties with him. Doesn't treat my gear the same way he treats his and can't be counted on for anything. Plus my girlfriend HATES him . I'm 21 and he's 26 btw. I think I'm one of the only ''friends'' he has, probably for good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jrockbridge Posted March 24, 2011 Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Bury the DL4 in uncooked rice. Leave it for 3 days. The rice will soak up the water. Water is often only a temporary problem. Never try to power up wet electronics. Always dry the item first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Timmott Posted March 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 24, 2011 Talked to my ''friend'' and he tried powering it up after it happened so I have little hope for it now. Atleast it will make a good paper weight . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast it will make a good paper weight . Try the rice. It often works. I tried powering up my iPhone after it went into a pool last year. It partially powered up at first. Then, I learned about the rice trick. I put it in raw rice for a couple of days and it started working again. I still use that same iPhone today.

Seriously, If he declines the invitation to replace what he broke.............cut him out and move on. Its a good lesson to learn that people like that NEVER CHANGE. BTW The rice only works if it is still wet. If its dried already, it won't make any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members craigny Posted March 25, 2011 Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 ask him to replace it if not f**k him then cut him out, and let him know how much of a d**k he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Timmott Posted March 25, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 25, 2011 His bass drum was warped from the leaking rain too, but it's still playable . I'm going to cut ties with him soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
