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 its always silent.
So it seems that there is a problem with the left driver, but im assuming (with no real knowledge!) its some kind of internal connection that has gone wrong as opposed to serious damage (as the sound was cutting in and out without degradation before failure).
Has anyone taken apart a DT880 driver and have advice on what i could try next?
Any help hugely appreciated, Really low on cash and these are my sole reference for a couple of music projects i need to get finished.

- I checked the cable with a multi-meter - No problems.
- I then checked the driver with a multi-meter - Not ok - No current passes through the left driver and no noise (when doing the same test with the right driver i hear some noise and see approx 250ohms resistance).
