Do you know this for a fact or is this what the previous repairers told you? In the wrong hands anything is fragile. Seems worth a try if the kit is a bit terminal.

Yes I did open up the EX1 and have a try before sending it off to the service people. I am always open to a bit of DIY, and have built a lot of my own hi-fi, so am not averse to opening something up to take a look. But I couldn't see how to disconnect that ribbon cable, and when the service engineers broke it, I was glad that I hadn't tried to force it off. I did wonder if there was a special tool for the job.
