OK, I have now screwed up my Touch, a little impatience pulled the land off left channel cap. Tried to drop a solder blob , still no sound from left channel. Joe, how did you fix this. I am not sure if the input or output side has come off. I have marked it in the image below. Any help is much appreciated!. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: sbtouch_pcb2.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12581| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- lake_eleven ------------------------------------------------------------------------ lake_eleven's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48979 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83412 _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
