Hi all,
let me repeat that the rubber surrounds are useless. I have attempted to mount the first one today and it's not possible. The inner ring is too small so if I try to stick it down in one place, it comes up in another place, and vice versa. There will always be some tension so it's safe to assume that even if one manages to get it stuck down all around, it will come loose again. There's no alternative to the foam surrounds, or rubber surrounds which are considerably larger than the ones offered. Even if they claim they are for the Boom speakers, it's not a good fit. The foam surrounds are worry-free. veragooner wrote: > I followed instructions on the thread and repaired the speakers with > the foam parts from Holland.

Please disconnect the flat flex that connects the mainboard and the front panel board. If you then power up the Boom, does it come alive again? Could it be that the flat flex was at an angle in one connector or both? Are all the metal pads on both sides of the flat flex still in good order? They might come loose after a few times being plugged and unplugged, and can even bend easily so they touch a neighboring pad. Are you sure the main and front panel boards did not touch at any time? There's only minimal clearance between both when the front panel is on so the risk of electrical parts touching is high, especially if both boards are not bolted down as far as possible. It's my suspicion that this might be one of the reasons for Booms dying from one day to another, or during repairs. PN me if your Boom / Classic / Transporter display has issues!
