Many thanks Eric. Neil

A very skint friend wants a pair and I promised him that I would see what I could find.

You will find the 4000/4002 infinitely more repairable than the 4200 ... but depends how high on your list is that consideration

Could be that damn flexi has died ... I would take it back! Neil

The scruffier the better (because they need to be cheap). Neil

It may be worth talking to your dealer first to check costs of a genuine replacement part (he may be familiar with the problem) rather than something from ebay that might not work when it turns up ... or worse still creates further damage. Where are you based? Neil

Tell him to return it for a full refund if he is unhappy ... i think you may find he shuts up very quickly.

The price seems to largely depend on the relationship you have with your dealer. Last time I purchased one, I paid £15 ... but I have heard of people paying £45 and upwards ... Neil

I have a STB-C module available if there is not one currently fitted. Neil

I can supply a secondhand replacement circuit board if this results in a hardware problem you cannot resolve. Regards, Neil
