I have a Wallstreet that had that problem. There is a known issue with the Wallstreet jacks. I took it apart and soldered the board, and so far, it now works fine. You can google info for the fix and a take-apart guide from PBFixit.com. On Jan 12, 2006, at 8:14 AM, Tom W. wrote: I have a

I've tried it. It is a pain in the neck, and probably not worth spending time on. The yo-yo's are difficult (not impossible) to get apart, and as the usual issue is the cord, you probably won't get anywhere with repair attempts. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small
