Hi Jörg, did you get my email?
Anyway, I'm writing it again:
- Where can I get the party you are mentioning?
- "easy to replace" - even to me, who has never soldered anything in his
life?
- Do you know someone in Germany, preferably in the Bonn/Cologne Area,
who could do this kind of stuff?

Thanks,

a desperate blaou
(who needs his rockbox back soon :( )
