Thanks Scott - actually here's where things stand now: I messaged the guy to say that the board had problems, and he's had me send it back to him - but not for a refund (yet); he thinks he knows what might be the problem and is going to try to repair it. If he can't, then I'll get my refund. I didn't take any photos before I sent it back; however I did find this pic online if you still were interested in taking a closer look at the components on the PCB: http://img.audiofanzine.com/image.php?lang=en&identifier=id&size=normal&module=product&product_id=140000 Cheers -- Nick
