I had the same problem. I tried re-soldering the volume control twice on different occasions, but with no effect. I tried to remove the control from the board in order to disassemble and clean it, but I was unable to remove the solder sufficiently with the equipment I have (soldering irons, a solder pump and solder wick). I decided to spray it with contact cleaner (WD-40 brand) -in situ-, aiming for anything that looked like a hole in the casing. I was not very hopeful since it appeared to be sealed, but wonder of wonders! When I reassembled the radio the volume control worked perfectly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Francis Banks's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68698 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105000
