I have just laid my hands on another plip not sure what type but off an early 96 Xantia, i thought the batteries were dead in it but not the case just put new ones in & the LED on the side is not working, can you take these plips to bits & test it? Or are its insides & the rubber top buttons replaceable?

If it looks the same as yours, it probably is. The XM changed from IR to radio in '95, if the Xantia is the same it will be a radio type. The usual problem with these is dry joints on the PCB, if you are any good a brain surgery, remove the PCB and examine it very closely, with a magnifying glass, if you are anything like as old as me, look for cracks in the soldered joints on the component ends, if you find any, resolder them with a very small iron.
