Reply to glitch in jogwheel

Hi!

i imagine there is a similar thread about this issue, but as usual i cant seem to find it. If anyone knows about such a thread, just point me in the right direction and i'll shut up.

I run a vci-100SE on a macbook, all n all working pretty good. But i have a weird problem. I came home from a longer trip, and the vci had just been collecting dust for about a month. When i started it, the right jogwheel didn't really respond. Or, to clarify, it does respond, but not right.

The cd search function (the one were you don't touch the metal platter) works fine, but not the scratch function. When i touch the metal platter, the light turns red, so the current seems to get through, and that always stops the track. But after a second or two it just lets go, the track will continue as if i wasn't touching it. If i keep holding it, sometimes it "grabs" to the track again.

The weird thing is that i can get a better effect if i press harder. From that i reached the conclusion that there is something temporarily blocking the current that goes through the platter, and the letting it come through again. Not long enough to see a light change on the vci, but long enough for traktor to see a change in midimessages. But i might really wrong.

When i use the echo jog wheel effect there is no problem controlling the rate of the delay with the jogwheel at all.

I have tried cleaning the actual plate and tightening the screws harder. It worked for about a day, but now i have the same problem again.

What is this all about? i can't figure out what the fuck is going on with my vci, does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance for all the free support, love this community
