Toshiba RD-XS24?

Maplins UJ02c is a 32.768KHz crystal, and now that I've dismantled the recorder (you have to get everything else out before you can remove the motherboard) I can see that the thin silver cylinder under where the DVD RAM drive belongs is a 32.768KHz crystal. So I guess that's the one.

I'll re-solder the joints now in case it's a dry joint - else it's 50p at Maplin's tomorrow!

Which of the four crystals on the motherboard do you mean?

The SA 4.43361 near the front? (My preference)

The pair (cuboid & thin cylinder) under the DVD RAM?

The SY 18.432 at the back?

Or is there something hiding in the front panel?

99.999% certain that this is the crystal oscillator that has failed.
Toshiba pt.no BY 633003, or from Maplins UJ02c.
if you are good with a soldering iron do it yourself,if not then let a competent engineer do the job.
