[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 1049518, member: 807"] The light and the audio signal path through the pot have nothing to do with each other. The intermittent light suggests a bad connection to the section with the pot in it - perhaps dry solder joints or a crack on a pcb. Putting contact cleaner in the pot will not fix that. Contact cleaner usually damages pots, rather than fixes them UNLESS you can apply it directly to the carbon track with a needle or toothpick. Spraying it arbitrarily into holes usually means buying a new pot afterwards. [/QUOTE]
