Hi,

I bought an AN1x from ebay. I knew the battery was empty, but I assumed even with an empty battery I should be able to play (just not save new sounds. The first time I booted it, I did the reset (7-8-9) and it entered the main screen. I could change programs, but none produced any audio. Tried both jack and the headphones.

Is this normal? Or is the audio broken? The volume pot was broken and l lying around in the box. Packaging was pretty bad. I suspect it might have been damaged during shipping. This is in Germany, where the word 'sorry' doesn't get much use. The seller says it was ok when he shipped, and scoffed any responsability. I opened a complaint on paypal... we'll see.

Should I try to replace the battery just in case?
