Re: [DW8000] DW8000 audio problem

If it comes down to having a technician look at it, you'll probably 
discover that parts are hard to come by for a DW8000, and tech time can 
be expensive.  It is often easier and less expensive to buy another used 
DW8000.  You'll often find that used ones have defects like one or more 
broken keys or a scratched case, etc.  You can use yours as parts to fix 
one that needs cosmetic or minor repairs.  Hang onto yours as a source 
of future parts.  Alternatively you can buy a used one and use THAT for 
parts to try to repair yours, by swapping entire boards from one to 
another, or swapping power supplies.

I loaded a clean set of patches in case of corruption, but that didn't help. I followed the online tutorial for replacing the old battery, and I loaded a clean set of patches. Same problem...
