Re: OT - Opening an Alesis ModFX (?)
Yes I have opened one my units some time ago just because of the same
symptoms (the rattling thing inside was a screw from the digital
interface connector).
I remember it was no fun.
Tried the same thing with my rattling PHLNGR right now - and didn't
manage to open it entirely. So I opened it so far that it wouldn't break
and shaked it - and there was the screw ;-)
As the interface connector is also soldered on the board, the missing
screw shouldn't cause any problems - I closed the unit again without
trying any longer.
Maybe you have to unscrew the analog audio connectors, too, to get into
the unit....
