I would like to modify the audio circuit of this piece of crap. In its current state, there is very little bass with the bass boost disabled and too much bass when the "Mega Bass" feature is enabled. It seems to be controlled using an IC, so it might not be possible to improve the circuit design.
I also want to improve FM radio reception. The signal on every decent station except one is very weak. I can tolerate the sound through the built-in speakers, but when using headphones there is so much static that you can't hear anything. Strangely, plugging in headphones causes the signal to instantly weaken to the point that the stereo indicator turns off. Unplugging the headphones causes the signal to improve and the stereo indicator comes back on.
Finally, the previous/next track buttons (also used to switch between radio presets) are broken. They have to be pressed in the correct location or nothing happens. The button caps have broken loose from the front panel.
