Hi all
Long time lurker here!
I’m a massive Cowon Plenue D2 fan (what a device!) and decided to buy a “backup” device on eBay. This new device is claimed to be effectively brand new – having been in storage – and very much seems to be so except...
There’s a very strange issue with the previous track/back button whereby it actually goes to the next track or forwards, ie the same as the forward button. Nothing feels physically strange about the switch and so I can only imagine that possibly there’s a soldering issue on the board, but I don’t know.
Has anyone entered such a problem before or can anyone speculate as to what the issue might be? To add to the mystery, although the device seems overall tip top, compared to my other D2 the back placement seems slightly off with rough edges. I wonder if someone’s tried to open this to fix this, or if someone opened it and broke it! Or even whether someone was sold B stock.
Does anyone know if there’s anyone actively repairing Cowon devices in the UK or, even better, London? I’m wondering if such an issue could be looked at by a decent phone repair shop, or whether that’s asking for trouble...?!
Big thanks guys.
