wow, I don't think you are suppose to turn the trimpots by that much. they are not suppose to turn more than 360 degrees, you may have already killed it.

It depends on the pot and if it has end stops. I have two different types of clones and both types have pots that rotate a full 360. As you turn them up and down they change value until you reach this magical spot where the resistance jumps min<->max depending on which way you were turning. The first time I tried to use them I read the instructions that said something like "turn down to the minimum value" and I was like "WTF there is no minimum it just spins and spins and spins."
