Er, how do you mean, "seperate it from the device" and "hold it in yr hand"? Like, metaphorically?

You mean, like, you got one knob that's not working, or shoots random values?

no metaphorical. let me make this clear: its a HW-problem.
most of knobs are really stucked. i can wild move, but they keep of their threads.
but one knob sits so loose, lax... thats what i mean.

Is it the knob cap or the entire knob? I used to always lose the knob caps (the black tops) until I decided to super glue them in place.. Some of the knobs are easier to detach than others but it shouldn't come off THAT easily, try switching it to another spot and see if it still pops off like that.
