"Just don't cuddle with your cat on a nylon carpet
before you go in there..."
Is that code?

Before you replace:
Try to swap the chip for voice 2 with that
of another one and see if the problem moves as well.
Sometimes just pressing down on the chips to reseat
them in the sockets is enough.
Removing them or putting them back might help as
well.
Just don't cuddle with your cat on a nylon carpet
before you go in there...

Peter
