Thanks for the help lattesurf. That's an accurate summary of my problem alright.

Unfortunately, it was a Christmas present so going down the seller route isn't ideal... but obviously it's something I'll have to try.

This is probably a stupid question but is the circuit design for these players generic? Is there a general circuit schematic or, as I suspect, is it different for every make and model?

Again, thanks for any help!
