Repair forums?

[cssbox]

I've got a friend's Boss PN-2 pedal sitting here.  I was hoping this site had a repair-oriented forum, but I don't see one.

Could any of the DIYSB folks here suggest other forums that would be good for repair of commercial pedals?

Odd that there's no schematics of that thing around outside of people selling scans of them, it seems like quite the popular pedal.

I can probably pick the thing apart eventually - but it's a real pain to pull everything out of that case with the way they've wired up the pots/switches.  On the bright side, it does blink and the controls alter the blink rate as expected.  But it passes no signal, even in bypass.  Came back like that after my friend let someone borrow it.  Oops.

Any pointers appreciated.

It's going to be hard to try and diagnose without a schematic. The main forum has always had repair oriented questions.
Your problem might be in the bypass/switching circuitry. I think lots of Boss pedals are similar wrt the switching.
