If it is U/S, would it be a likely cause of the symptoms? It has 2200

Try these:

That's only 1000 instead of 2200.

Ooops, sorry bout that, the one below is the right one and still pretty
cheap.

Any stock problems and these will also work and have a slightly better
spec (at a slightly higher cost):

Seems to be the proper replacement, assuming it's physically small enough
to fit.

Yes, agreed

Strangely:
Farnell do these for 59p each exc. VAT, min. qty. 5, free postage,
total £3.44
CPC do these for 55p each exc. VAT, min. qty. 1, postage £5.95,
total £7.48
seeing as Farnell and CPC are supposedly the same company...

Different cost models, free post offset by higher margins on the goods,
quite handy for little orders like this one.


But then, I could have sent him one for nothing ...
