Reading some of the subsequent posts, I can say that there are a few cases of 'been there, done that and got the tee shirt' amongst the posts by Rob T, Mark, and Dave. I, too have spent several hours, often over more than one day, trying to pin down and rectify elusive faults, sstill do sometimes. There's a part of me that says 'don't let it beat you', even though I know a hopeless case when i see one! In the past half-year I've had several such jobs, including an ONKYO CD Player which now loads the discs, but the spindle motor won't run, and a Yamaha HDD/CD Recorder that defies all attempts to fix it, and a couple of other 'dogs' of jobs!
