Hey everyone. So I own a JBL PRX tower PA system that I use for acoustic gigs and open jams. A couple of times on me it would freeze on boot and restart but after trying it a few times it would normally work and stay on, but it's finally had enough and now just continously boots. Manufacturer was closed for the weekend and there are no shops nearby for warranty service so I opened up the back just see if there was a loose wire or something...
Well I found this extremely delicate wire that was attached to this sticky black tape-like material and honestly I don't know if I pulled it apart or if it was already damaged, so I have no clue whether this could be the cause of my problem. Could someone please identify what this might before for in the context of pro-audio?
It is like a tiny coax cable, miniscule with a shielding between the layers of insulation. There is a metal bracket on the top of the tape where the shielding appeared to sit. Then there was a tiny solder ball that attached the internal wire to the middle of the paper. Under the paper there are some orange squares. This entire thing seems to lead from the power button, and was taped to the inside of the speaker on a plastic surface.
Any ideas would be appreciated. The system continues to restart itself no matter what I do with this wire and paper. I'd like to at least confirm that this wasn't my originally issue so it doesn't get found when I send it out for warranty service. Couple pics attached, thanks!
If anyone knows of a better forum to post this I'll take that advice as well.
Pictures don't want to upload from my phone. I will add them through my PC in a moment
edit: dont know why they continue to get errors uploading. Drive link to the pics: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1R-i_yHqGnCOrs2UWFxA9xEjrl-TH1ook?usp=sharing
