Date: Mon, 2 Aug 2004 12:12:17 +0100 I've spoken to the technical department of the firm I bought it from. They're going to try to repair it so I've just shipped it off to them. I've also bought another one on E-Bay, so I'm going to get a friend to replace the FMR's hard disk with an 80GB one. The TravelStar seems to be the one people were recommending. Any do's and don'ts I should know about?

I had exactly the same problem, and could fix it myself : just open the FMR and solder the headphone jack back, previously the soldering point had been broken and it works like a charm now ;). Just pay attention to the little cables ...
