Pensaba que serviría para la BCD2000… pero es algo distinta.

Antonio -

great stuff, with better quality pictures would be better

This is great! I thought it would be like the other BC controllers (BCR/BCF2000) with a clip on the side panels. I need to re-seat my knob rings that have gotten loose and fallen of the top panel.

Thanks for the guide! I was able to re-glue and re-seat my knob rings that popped loose. I had two on the top section (main vol and FX4) and one at the lower that was working loose, so I decided to hit that one as well since I already had the BDC3000 apart. I find it odd that Behringer used machine screws on the bottom of the machine since they screw into plastic posts. The control knobs rings are held in place with a thin glue that, after nearly 20 years (mine was 1105 date), have weakened and allow easy popping off. I used a glue that didn't melt the pieces together (preferred, but I didn't have), so I may have to go through this process again. When reassembling, take care that the buttons seat properly into the panels as they can wiggle out of place and make screwing the PCBs difficult and reassembly impossible. If you need total disassembly, you'll need a socket wrench or mini pliers to remove the nut from the headphone jack. I don't think this is a necessary step if you're just re-seating/gluing the rings.
