This is a nice portable DVD player/LCD monitor. When I first got it with
a known sound problem, it worked fine. Then within 10 minutes, the sound
had become very noisy, and then disappeared entirely. It is now completely
silent. Headphone disconnect contacts have been exercised and modes double
checked. Given that there are only 2 or 3 large ICs inside and very little
discrete circuitry, it seems likely that the problem is inside one of the
ICs. But I'm just checking here to see if anyone has run across this before.
There is no obvious physical damage.

Thanks.

Remove the battery, let sit, try again.

No battery, only running on AC power.
