1. TS 2068 - Sound/Hissing Problem
Adam Trionfo · Wed, 2 Jan 2008 19:30:
I recieved my first Timex 2068 today! It works fine, but it does have a sound problem. There is a slight hiss coming for the internal speaker (it sounds, sort of, like air escaping from a pinhole in a balloon). I used the BASIC BEEP command to check the sound, and it does work. I'm GUESSING this isn't normal. Has anyone else run into this before? Is there any cure for this problem?

Yes, the hissing is normal, in my experience. So is the video "noise" on
screen. I've read of some fixes for the latter, if not the former, but I
never tried them. (They involve soldering, etc.)
