Heh... ouch. I've been FAQed.

I remember that FAQ entry. I hope that is not the case, since my fear of screwing something up by opening the Empeg was greater than my belief something was wrong.

If it helps, when I opened it the screw was fairly tightly wedged between the side of the case and the small flat silver thingy... You know... the one between the black cubic thingy and where the wires attach to the main board.

Maybe I should have taken a couple of credits of electronics when I was still in school.
