I had the exact same model come in today for repair! The owner had not had it three weeks before its first failure. This one was actually manufactured in 2009 - so it must have been sitting on the shelf before he bought it.

The failure was lack of support for the volume control / on off switch. The pot is mounted on a small PCB that is at a 90 degree angle from the mainboard. The only thing holding the small pcb to the mainboard is solder! After some jumpers and epoxy to keep the board still it ran again.

More cheap junk from china.....
