Posting here to get ridiculed... I had my new Kanto YU2 speakers out and before I could set them up my son pushed in the domes of the drivers. In a panic I googled how to fix it and tried a q-tip/super glue trick that didn't work. The toilet paper roll trick did work (suck through the cardboard tube and it'll pop out). But now I have glue residue with some white from the qtip on on the domes. Yes... I am an idiot. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I feel like acetone may eat the driver or unglue something important. My other consideration is using something to make it darker so its less visible (like a black marker) but I'm looking for suggestions before I make it worse. They are definitely the best computer speakers I've ever tried. EngineerJoe fucked around with this message at 23:49 on Jan 14, 2021 |

polyester concept posted:acetone on a q-tip is your best bet. try using masking tape to cover areas you don't want acetone on (you could have also used masking tape to pull the dome out lol). use acetone very sparingly by dabbing the glue a little bit at a time, letting it dissolve, then dabbing it away with a clean q-tip. go slow and it should be fine. I'll give that a try this weekend. As for my son, I couldn't get mad at him, he's cooped up in here just like we are and I know for a fact I did the same thing to my dad's hi-fi speakers back in the 80s. I'm sure he got to use them before I did that though.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about... Maybe I'll just leave it as my personal shame reminder
