One thing I've found consistent in consumer electronics is that that       lazy electros generally        respond to heat and cold. Warm it up with a heat gun. Noise gone? Good       chance an electro bypass is the cause.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
