G8000 help please!

[Jzombywoof]

I've been recapping my g8000. 1 board at a time then testing. After recapping the tone board (f-2799) I tested it, and it played fine. So, I decided it was a good time to clean the pots on that board. I used Deoxit D5. Now I have no right channel output from that board. The power amp is fine, I used the power amp inputs on the side to check. I've been using Deoxit D5 for this kind of stuff for years, never had an issue. My guess is I must've been to careless moving the board around while cleaning the pots. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jason

You did clean all the switches? How about the separator switch.

Forget to mention ,there are many pin and connector on the board, those need cleaning too.

Well, firstly you should never ever use D5 in Potentiometers, it washes out the lube and then causes excessive dryness and accelerates the wear on the carbon track.
Only use Faderlube F5, and a small amount, no need to drown them like a lot of people do.
But I can't see why it would cause a failure of one channel.

There is a relay, a small one on the board which has the CONNECTED/SEPARATED switch on it, this can cause that issue, and also the switch can also be a common source of this issue as well.

You could have also broken a wire by moving the board around and not noticed it.

Go back and check your work....
