Success!!  That soldering was stressful! : ) Thanks TrollDragon for all you advice in getting this sorted..really appreciated!   The new driver does sound a bit different (restrained, maybe 10% quieter) than the other though....could it just need some "burn in" time?

  Indeed....So i guess i should just flip the wiring (as the red mark is on the opposite side to the original driver)?   Thanks for the reply!

  I've just (finally!) received a replacement DT880 driver.  However, i need a replacement driver for the LEFT can, it looks like they've sent me a replacement driver for the RIGHT (the red pen mark is on the opposite terminal to my blown LEFT driver).   Are the left/right drivers physically...

Quote:   Thanks! The coil wires do look absolutely fine so i guess i need to sofurce a new driver.  Do you know where i can get one from? I live in The Netherlands but the driver only seems to be available on the German version of the Beyer site (shipping only to Germany).

Hi TrollDragon - Thanks for the help, much appreciated!   I read through those threads and checked the voicecoil wires (the two hair thin wires that goto the driver?) - They both appear to be OK between the tabs to the point where they go into the driver.  But i get no current passing...

Has anyone successfully revived a DT880 driver that's gone silent?   The left channel on my DT880 started cutting out a few days ago - No sound degradation, the left channel went completely silent and then would come back perfectly for 30 minutes or so.  This happened about 5 times but now...
