HELP!! Semi-new Solid Body Electric Kala mysteriously stopped working

I received my Kala just a few months ago..I perform in a band, and my partner bought it for me in hope of imporving my stage sound I love it...I was using it very regularly...I left it on our stage night before last after practice, and when i came to use it for practice last night, it was no longer working.
We tried changing the battery to no avail...I plugged in the headphones (it has a headphone jack)...and was met with an odd humming sound.

I am quite disgruntled as my band is getting ready to play a christmas show.


I am ready to open up the back and have a looksee, but I am not very experienced with working with electronics...

A thought that just occurred to me (and please nobody reprimand me for what a dumb mistake this might have been)..is that I put the uke on top of one of the stage speakers..that is where i rested it when I put it down.

I am wondering if perhaps the magnets in the stage speakers might have somehow managed to destroy the pickup on the uke....

Seems more likely vibration shook something loose, check the wire conections.

Yeah..that's what I am about to do.

Check the cable from the uke to the amp

I too have a Kala uke that is a little particular about what cable I use to plug it in. I can use one cable and nothing... I pick up another one and presto, it works. Try plugging it up to a different amp using a different cable before you take it apart.

I went through all those routes last night...

There seems to be an issue with the circuit board inside the thing....which accounts for the "bent circuit" sound I hear when I plug in the headphones into the headphone jack...and no sound when I plug it into any amplifier using any different cord...

My kala has active pickups and a headphone jack so I can practice silently with headphones...

The whole thing is driven by a circuit board that seems to have somehow gone caput....

There are no loose wires that I can discern..

(already took it apart)

This is the second Kala I have owned, and the second Kala with electronics problems.
My first Kala....acoustic Koa concert-sized...and the electronic have completely stopped working in that one too....
Gee I wonder if my partner ordered that one from the same Ebay guy....

Can't hurt to write to the vendor. It shouldn't fail after a "few months" and if the vendor's a reputable one they'll probably want to make things right.

We are working on that too....I am just annoyed because I really needed to used it for our Christmas show...I still have my Fluke....but the amplified sound is not that great....

Anyone know where I might confer with somebody who owns or has owned one of these Kala solid bodies? I am wondering whether this problem is common among them....
