I hope someone is still checking this thread.
Anyways, I've tried you fix and can't seem to do it right. I bought my guitar used online (BIG mistake) and it didn't work from day one. I've tried many low fi fixes, and finally stumbled upon this one.
I can't seem to get the PCB in place. The bottom part requires a ton of force to move into place, i think i can get it there but i am afraid of damaging it more.
The top PCB doesn't move at all there is no way i can move that end at all, am i doing something wrong, or is it possible to move one end only?
