Ok, so I think I'm convinced that its a loose connection inside the
device. A gentle squeeze around the case near the speaker causes audio
to come back.
I hope its a connnector, and not a cracked board. My newt's old, but
never dropped or abused... Has anyone experienced a problem like this
and is it a simple fix? Perhaps someone who's taken their device apart
can give me some troubleshooting advice?
