"Follow the print on the 'dead' pin back, and it goes to the blob. Other side
of the blob, where protection diodes half the size of an ant's body are
fitted, there is full signal,"

Fukum. They took their name off it when they did not give you a print.

Measure hat you can of the blob thart still is good and duplicate it. Maybe a cap, maybe a resistor. I bet a hundred ohm resistor will work just fine, just use like a little eentsy 1/16th watt job or something. Maybe 47 ohm. Or, a cap witth a 47 ohm. Depends on what you read on the good one. Remeber that is balanced, both sides are the same.

Plus the fact I would bet they are just some low value low wattage resistors. If you read DC, put in a cap. Getting held up by **** like this is bull****.
