Neck Pickup in Atom CT has just died...Help!

[Lucidology]

The neck pickup is soldered perfectly to the switch. All the connections have never been altered.
Could the switch not be making contact?
When I look at the inside wiring everything seems just fine!
It has worked wonderfully for a couple of years now,
however there is no sound coming out whatsoever from the neck pup ...
Just pulled it out the case the other day and that's the way it is ...
(the bridge works great as usual)

What should I do ... ?

Is it an HC? If so, remove the mounting screws and flip the pickup over. Reheat and add just a little new solder to the four connections on the bottom. If that doesn't bring it back to life, we'll have to replace it.

Thanks Tom ... yes, it's an HC ... will do/try what you suggest!
Will let you know ...!

BTW, are the HC's standard size hums or just a bit smaller?

They are standard size. The atom mounting plate is different so that you can control pickup angle.

Yo Tom ... tried what you said and the neck pickup still isn't working ... so what would you suggest?

[tom]

Must be a dead coil. I'll need to get you a replacement. Email me and I'll set it up.
