AfraidToTell Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Im kinda sick of these problems that ive had with my dark fire. But yes i know i havnt had it as bad as some of you guys. Anyways, my e string decided it wouldn't tune the other day and ever since it still hasnt. I go to tune the strings and they all work (sometimes the g string flashes white) except the e string. It Makes a noise and turns very slightly, it sounds like its struggling. Ive tried the reset 109 code, and now ive taken the e string off and tried moving the tuning peg in "T" mode (i think its called) and yet the same noise happens and it does not move very far. Please help, thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookaroundyou Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Here's the usaul checks for a non responsive string/robohead. Remove the respective string. align the tuners case to the black electronic box, use a 12 mm wrench for the hex nut. tighten the hex nut at approx. 1.5 Nm torque. restring and check. Also, while the string is removed check that the string bar is slightly movable. http://www.futureguitarnow.com/forum/index.php?topic=814.msg8095#msg8095 Good luck :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookaroundyou Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 The string bar is the little individual bridge saddle shown in this pic. One for each string. It should wiggle slightly when there's no string on it. http://www.futureguitarnow.com/forum/index.php?topic=814.msg8095#msg8095 The black box is the CPU box between the tuners on the headstock. The tuner case is the robohead tuner. Remove the tuner, clean the contacts and and align it properly before tightening. (approx. 1.5 Nm torque.) I really recommend you join futureguitarnow. Thats where all the DF owners and experts are. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfraidToTell Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 Ok so i need to unscrew the nut under where the string wraps around so the peg comes out? I then check and see if its clean? thx again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexorgtr Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 When mine won't tune, I know it's time for fresh clean strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
