i dropped my Tascam a milion and one times and it was perfectly fine but now one of the buttons has broke. its the set in button/ 3rd button under the display screen. i use my tascam on a very regular basses and i use every single button all the time. the thing about it is that it didnt land on the button so i dont really know how it broke. and i know this is gonna sound completely retarded but my first instinct was to completely take it apart. and i mean completely. that was the only way to get to the button. when i got there though there were no obvious signs of anything being broken. (i have repaired old cassette players and four tracks in the past and im not talking about belt replacement. more like motors and intentional slices in the circuit board) what im trying to say is that im not retarded when it comes to fixing shit but the fact the the button still clicks just fine and the connections are solid as far as i can tell makes me think that its perhaps not the botton itself that is actually broken. i would just like to know a relatively smart persons opinion would be before i continue my repair attempt. like ive said ive fixed plenty of old analog 4 tracks and cassette players but never anything digital. could the problem be some digital or with in the brains of the device. (i dont know terminology im sorry. im very d.i.y. and have no training or formal education of any kind. also this my first time ever on a forum and it took me for ever to find one that wasnt impossible to sign up to)
