Hi everyone. The title is quite explanatory. What do you say, do I have hope? Can it be fixed? Or should I throw it away?

mmhm, since it's so old you can take it apart and see if there's something in the mechanics, but if they are all the sol notes, something probably failed on the board.. so I think it will be difficult.

Have you tried an authorized service center?

(it probably won't be worth repairing it)

From the defect you reported, I think there is a multiplexer and the SOL input has broken... I would try to repair it. If you go to some electronic repair shops, the replacement shouldn't cost much; if they are honest, you can get by with about 50 euros. Maybe bring it to them already disassembled so there is definitely less work for them and the costs won't skyrocket.
