I see there is still a bit of nostalgia for the old Sansa Clip Zip out there. I am dreading the day when my last one dies. One of the hard switches is threatening total fail sometime soon. Could I ask if anyone has a source of the ribbon with switches assembly that is used in these units? I have another Zip that I dismantled and is only in need of that ribbon with switches to carry on performing.
When the Zip does finally die what would be recommended as a replacement? I would err on the side of a superset rather than a subset of the Zip, and hang the expense.
