Gibson Les Paul Standard 2017 volume knob not working as it should

Hi everyone! First of all apologies if the section is wrong, wasn't sure where to post.

I have this weird problem with my Gibson LP standard 2017. Apparently the neck volume has some weird issue. When I turn the knob down to 9/9,5, it starts buzzing and the volume itself drops dramatically. As I keep turning down, this stops from happening (please see the video below, it is clearer). Did anyone experience something similar before? Any ideas of what the problem could be and how to solve it? I’m literally crapping myself, as if there’s a problem with the push-pull board, it’s £300 flying away.... 

Here’s a video: https://streamable.com/v0iyp

As the resident expert on burning pots while putting in new pickups, you need a pot*.  Not a huge deal, but unfortunate.  If you can solder you can fix it.

*Full disclosure:  I know nothing of these new fangled high fallutin boards and circuit thingys in guitars.  Someone who has broken at least one of them will have to get in here about that.

Thanks for a great laugh.

I have only 1 of those thingys in my 2017 SG HP. I opened the cover once and closed it right up. I have no clue how to work on them.
