Subject: Re: Umm, dead Beeb?

An extremely long shot, but mine did a similar thing ages ago - tried
everything but to no avail.
Eventually a noticed that a tiny dried petal - 3 or 4mm long - had got
inside and was resting across 2 pins of an IC.
I blew it away, turned it back and bingo - Beeb was back to life.

But like I say - it's a long shot...
