AOR AR8200 Repair?

Post by scottyboy »

i have an aor ar8200 i used years ago, it has a fault where the bottom row of buttons dont respond to them being pressed, the enter button is on that row and it is now useless for me unless i can get it repaired,
does anyone know of a place to get these repaired or can anyone on hear do it?
failing that i may sell it for spares/repair.

thanks.

Had same prob with my 8200 mk3, used the fix as detailed in the link above and it works great, just be careful when you open the case because the contacts going to the battery compartment can become detatched from the solder very easily, apart from that its a 10 min job that works like a dream 8)
