sifter,
I seriously hope xti16 hasn't started a trend on this thread of readers voting on whether static or carbon deposits are the cause of your issue.
mofimadness4 could be correct about your issue being static related. I was unaware of static possibly causing your issue and have never experienced it myself. I am aware of carbon deposits on the volume shaft causing your issue, have experienced it myself and resolved it with a can of inexpensive tv tuner cleaner. You should know I'm not an electrician, just a lifelong A/V enthusiast with some experience.
I place no importance on which of us may have correctly diagnosed your issue and definitely know it won't be solved by a popularity contest. I think it's more important that the focus remain on getting your issue properly resolved.
The truth is that the cause and remedy for your problem is currently uncertain. Since both of our solutions seem to be relatively inexpensive, one option would be to try one than the other.
Best case, one of them works. Worst case, neither one does but at least you've ruled out 2 possible causes and solutions.
If it was my gear, I'd likely opt for the simpler, more direct but slightly more expensive solution of having a professional at a reliable local electronics repair shop resolve the issue. My thought being that you may resort to this option anyway if neither suggested cause is correct.
But it's your gear, time, money and choice.
Best wishes,
Tim
