This is a wacky one!
I packed a client for recording in Jamaica. 10 roadcases went, 10 returned. On the way back through Customs they opened all the cases AND equipment looking for contraband. It was un-noticable except a Genelec 1032 did not work and there was something thumping around inside.
Turned out that all wire harnesses were disconnected and the power transformer was installed backwards mechanically and banging around. They just unscrewed every screw on the back trying to get inside and did not know how to put stuff back. The other 1032 had a loose transformer not yet dislodged.
Luckily no damage and no stripped Torx/Metric hex.
Crazy! I will identify chassis screws next time.
