Fiiiiinally!
Rob's mail got to me weeks ago, but last night was the first time I had the time and energy and the borrowed soldering iron all in one place. The job I did of soldering it on wasn't wonderful - I had no wick or solder sucker to remove the excess solder, so I smoothed down the previous blobs as best I could and soldered it onto that. But it's working now! YES!
Funny, but I got used to not having the display in a way; I was glad I'd given my major playlists PINs and had memorised the top level of the playlist menu. When Kate said "Can you get to my playlist" I was able to impress her with Down Down Right Right Right Right Right Down Down. It's better than staring at the player trying to find things at 100Km/H...
Thanks, Rod! My .sig is true again!
Have fun,
Paul
