Dropped my empeg

Dropped my empeg - 29/05/2005 12:31

Walking out to the car today, I managed to lose grip of my empeg bag. My mk2a fell from my grasp and bounced down a flight of (concrete) stairs.

The good news -- the screen's fine; after reattaching the hard disk cable, it plays music fine.

The bad news -- the handle's snapped.

I swapped the handle over from my spare empeg, but now I need a new one. Anyone got one spare they'd like to sell me?

I think Rob S has a whole load of spares.

Don't forget to check for a pinched display cable -- might cause problems later if not inspected / taped-up now.

Cheers

Good tip -- I didn't notice anything wrong when I had the display board out (makes it easier to get the handle springs on) -- but I didn't look that closely. I've got to tighten the springs anyway, so I'll take a closer look when I open it up to fix that.

I two am still looking for a replacement handle assembly for my MKIIa.
Glad to hear its only the handle was damaged.
