Hi--

UH-OH!!!

Thanks!

I was hoping for a not-too-difficult procedure (I don't trust

repair services to do it right, and I just sold my other two

VX2000s...). Darn! But this appears to be beyond me.

I do have a GE extended warranty, if I dare trust the

repair work for an awkward, but not-essential-to-correct

problem - but I do change several settings, and these are

lost when the power (usually battery) is removed...

Sigh!

Thanks anyway for looking and letting me know...!
