as for this issue just press down, there are two little bumps that 
have to click into the board.  do not go up would be my advice :)

just press down with care.

as for my data weel not a problem here with my xl but i did have 
that problem with my E5000.  Had to send it away.  It has not come 
back but i kinda dread the day it do.  

Are the pots for this low quality in emu gear?  If so is there 
anyone who can recomend a supper high quality pot that would be a 
better?  I have no more warrenty on this unit so i would install it 
myself.
