Line Out connection does not work either on my computer or home stereo

This sounds more like a hardware problem... and in the back of my mind is a fairly recent post, I think by Hugo, mentioning that one of the design differences between the Mark2 and the Mark2A player was a change in the way the RCA connectors were connected to the circuit board as the Mark2 traces were more prone to breaking.

I searched, cannot find that post, so maybe I'm just imagining it. Anybody got a link to that post?
