I managed to snap the dimmer dial (white dial and blue box) off the circuit mounting inside the control cavity. Initially, this caused the LEDs to be very dim. When trying to reseat it, it came completely off. Now there are no LEDs. I tried adjusting the brightness of the LEDs and slipped with my mini screwdriver. Voila, broken dimmer switch!
Can this be repaired by rewiring it or does the entire dimmer switch need to be replaced? If it can be fixed, can someone help with the wiring diagram so my local guitar tech can put it back together. If I need to replace it, info on getting the replacement part would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Can you email me a picture of the cavity? There are several different circuits for controlling the LEDs depending on color and the time it was made.

Mica, I sent an email to you last week to mica@alembic.com. I’ll resend it now. Thanks!

This is a 2012 Mark King 5-string.

Mica, these are amber LED lights. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Here is the picture.

This morning we determined that a couple of the pins on the trim pot were busted off and one was bent, so today we sent off a new trimpot. Brig already knows this - I'm just updating for the crew here.
