hello Jim thanks for ur great evaluation. I guess u are right with ur points. I have checked to run it with battery and sound coming from the headphone jack. So there's nothing wrong with the out-put sound from there. I guess its related to old battery voltage. I'll grab a new battery pack and see if the speaker comes to live again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ M8G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=72324 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115497 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
