That's a shame - was the plastic around the hinge damaged too? Hopefully you can find a donor WSII/PDQ and transplant a new hinge on. Must have been a hefty fall - these machines…

Don't go tweaking the voltage pot just yet -- you could cause a complete meltdown. The problem you're seeing is not uncommon, and is most often caused by tarnished power connectio…

After several tries, I finally (accidentally?) got that silly ad-laden download site to deliver that AIFF file to my hard drive! All I can say is that the sound file you made is t…
