Philip,
My old TR6 did exactly the same thing. Came out of the das very easiliy
and I sent it to Nisongers. Came back within a week and a half(if I
remember correctly) and never had a problem with it again.
Sorry I can't give you any more info on fixing it yourself but I was
completely satisfied with the fix mentioned above.
Regards,
Lenny Seidman
