Re: Does my BCR2000 sound like it's broken?

> In BC Manager's "Test hardware" mode you can also press buttons (and rotate knobs) manually (you don't even have to press "Start").
> E.g. pressing any button should toggle the LEDs of ALL the buttons. This way you may be able to find out which buttons exactly are defective.


Right, I didn't notice I could test like that - here's my results

All rotary knobs - ok
Top row push function not responding - 2, 3, 5
1st row buttons not responding - 2, 3, 5
2nd row buttons not responding - 2, 3, 5
Encoder group buttons not responding - top right, bottom left
Function buttons not responding - edit, learn
Preset button not working - left
Last group of 4 buttons not working - top left


Seeing it like that, I'm thinking that's quite a long list of buttons not working as they should - there's a bit of a pattern to it though.

I still haven't opened the unit up in case I'm going to send it back but now I think it's crunch time for it - with all your help I feel we've managed to really zone in to the problem, but now I feel I can't go any further unless I open it up.

Do you think it's something I might be able to fix or would I be better off trying to get my money back & buying another one elsewhere?
