Audrey Knob not working right
Weird Problem

It seems my Audrey's knob is acting strangely. When I select it it won't go the direction I want it to. Sometimss it goes left when I tell it to go right sometimes it goes right when I tell it to go left. It's altogether erratic. Additionally, I noticed the other day all the sudden the channel bar appeared on its own and started bouncing back and forth randomly when I didn't touch the knob... Anyone seen this?

Yea, I the same thing happens to me, mine will subbenly pop-up without touching it (mabey I did bump it without realizing).....and you turn the knob and nothing happens for a while, then it it moves but not the way you'd expect....I've found that if you press it, you get the 'Channel not Available' and then you can push the browser button and get back to business. I was just wondering if you could disable it or make it a more useful controller like a **page scroller** would be the best use for the knob. Other people have suggested making it a volumn knob, but there's already one on the screen and on the back, I don't think we need another.

I searched the entire message board last night and only found requests but no solutions to this. The only current solution it to make it a bookmark selector, but the way it currently operates, it would drive me mad.

Yes, i have the same problem.

The screen is also loose, maybe related, would love to know if anyone has replaced the knob guts.
might have to open it up.
Mine wont go right or left more than one time.
Even when you press straight down it goes left or right sometimes, which takes it off my "links" page.
I may have to make all the "channels" link to the links page than it wont matter much.
I agree it would totally drive me nuts.

I will post if I open it up and find anything.

while it doesn't solve the problem, slaying the filmstrip app at least keeps the channelbar from popping up at inopportune moments. I'm hoping someone can figure out a more permanent/elegant solution.

My Audrey also has a ghost turning the knob. It’ll turn it about 2 turns in either direction then on the third turn it’ll stop responding and on the fourth it’ll go back one.

The comment about the loose screen… do you mean vertical lines show constantly but when you tap or squeeze the left side of Audrey it clears up for a minute (after changing the channel). Does anybody know how to fix my screen? Now Audrey doesn’t clear up, and no amount of hammering/ squeezing helps. I’ve opened it up to look for a loose connection…..I cant see anything.

RE: the Screen being loose...
My Screen is loose on the lower right, when you touch it it pushes back a little.
