Re: AD10 problem

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, it's sounding very much like it's an ex-AD10...

I'll give the "tap it and unwrap it" suggestion a go - I did try
a bit
of that last night but I don't think I was forceful enough.

Failing that I'll take it apart. Are the circuit boards *secured* into
the case or are they just a tight friction fit? I looked at this last
night but again wuss-ed out as I was hoping it might still work...

Thanks for all your help guys - I'll report back if it magically comes
back to life :-)

Cheers,

Tim.
