I've been heavily using my Tangara since I got it, and today the touch wheel seems to have stopped working. It registers touches, but not well; scrolling around the wheel either direction will make the selection jump around up and down, and actually presses, either long or short, almost never registers.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a software problem, unfortunately. I updated from 1.4 to 1.5 and then 2.0 since the problem started, and it behaves the same an all versions.
Now, I'm not a hardware person. I saw that someone here made the Tangarine button plate, and I'd love to try that, but I don't have a 3D printer to make the buttons with. I'd be comfortable trying to install something like that, which was already made, but not really anything more advanced then that.
I haven't tried anything beside hard restarting it and swapping out the firmware, I think that maybe I could try disassembling it and messing with whatever connection the touch plate uses but I'm a little afraid of the possibility of making things worse.
Does anyone know of troubleshooting steps I could try, or a source I could use to get buttons for the Tangarine plate from? The Tangara is the best MP3 player I've had in years and I don't want to give up on it because of this.
