Well, I am gonna start by replacing the cue pot that stalled the internal diagnostic. I suppose I will have to reassemble the recorder and proceed with the diagnostic in order to locate the next failed component. It sure makes me wish they had designed a "skip" feature in the diagnostic program so I could jump over the failed component and complete the test before disassembling and replacing any failed components. I had one other 840 that failed all the tact switches after the display tact and it turned out to have a shattered circuit board at the 3rd cue pot. It looked like someone dropped a heavy object directly on the 3rd cue pot knob (left a small black mark on top of the knob) and the downward force split the circuit board, disabling all the tacts after the display tact switch. I sure hope this one doesn't have that issue!
