Give it to me, I'll take it off your hands jazzyvee Senior Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 2086 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - 8:01 pm:    Hi Keavin, I hopey, Mica chips in and can give you some pointers to get no12 her voice back. Maybe it just needs a trip back to base for surgery. Let's I hope it's nothing serious and can be fixed as it would be a shame to have to retire such a beauty. However, if you decide to retire her, I have a perfect retirement home in England where she would be very welcome with no charge either. :-) Jazzyvee ojo Junior Username: ojo Post Number: 36 Registered: 3-2008 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 7:27 am:    I've had issues with grounding when messing around with the electronics . . . at least that's what I think it is. All I know is that if the parts touch the shielded cavity the wrong way, I get no sound. serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 806 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 8:20 am:    Thanks i'll have that checked out! adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2563 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 8:24 am:    Did you try again with batteries? serialnumber12 Senior Member Username: serialnumber12 Post Number: 807 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Wednesday, August 18, 2010 - 10:40 am:    yep. slicknickhaas Junior Username: slicknickhaas Post Number: 33 Registered: 10-2009 Posted on Monday, December 27, 2010 - 10:09 pm:    WOW!

I had it with my Europa when I owned it - the circuit board touched the cavity, and no sound. My solution was to take a bit of a matchbook cover and put it under the circuit board - voila, problem solved. You may want to try that. Alan
