Hi Chris,
I have a DW8000 that i bought from ebay but its not working only the
lights seem to come on and no sound, i was wanting to repair this
and was hoping it was just the battery but i guess it could be more,
does anyone know who would look at it for me as i dont really want
to break it for parts if its just something silly...sorry for the
high jacking of the thread...
John.
