I haven't tried using AUX port for some time now. Probably a few months.
I can't see the need for it in the forseable future and as long as I keep it in player mode it works.
Other than the fact that it'd be great to keep it in tip-top shape, do you think it's a necessary repair? I'll have to check if I'm inside the terms of my warranty. I added a second hard drive so they may void it.
The player is working fine now, just only when in player mode.
