Step 2Open up the cymbal and inspect.
There are likely several ways the cymbal can be "broken". This is why the inspection step is necessary. Mine was broken is a specific way. Likely a common way though.
Remove the four screws holding the back of the cymbal on. It's just four small Philips screw, nothing special. Go slow, the screws are going into plastic, and you'll need good threads later to put it back together.
I opened up both my cymbals and compared them. The yellow cymbal clearly had very poor workmanship when compared to the orange cymbal. However, there were no obvious flaws. The solder joints to the piezoelectric looked sound, the circuit board is dead simple, no components at all. Just connects the piezoelectric element to a mini-audio ( mono ) plug.
If you find anything blatantly broken, wire pulled out, plug on board loose... fix that and give the cymbal a test run. If not, move onto the next step.
