aliasphobias Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi and welcome. Congrats on the new Songwriter. It sounds like you are missing the cover. I don't have one but I'm sure someone here does. Help is on the way! Pics are always welcomed and encouraged, especially when describing a problem. Let's have a look at that Songwriter!

I had to put a small piece of tape over the small rectangular metal plate because it had a tendency to pop out (before fixing it a better way). Here's a pic of mine that I hope will show you if you're missing something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
