Thank you so much, this has been broken at my place for a very long time and following your instructions I found the screw exactly where you did! I even had a plumber tell me that the whole thing had to be replaced.
It’s been a few years since I posted this video and believe it or not the handle fell off AGAIN. I actually used my own video for instructions - very meta.
Did you put any low grade loctite on it this time? By the way thanks for the vid. I couldn't figure out how to get mine off to fix the wiggles in the handle. Your vid did the trick. Thank you.
Too funny! My cold water handle came off twice within 2 years. Your instructions are a great help. Maybe one day I'll invest in a faucet that doesn't include the periodic handle replacement ritual.
My problem is when people come over, the hot side ends up pointing at the back wall when off. People pushing too hard. Not sure how to tighten it up so it stops at a 90 degree like the cold side. Not sure why they push so hard. It turns easy and goes off at the 90 degree point, but they push it further back.
My plumber who was here for another repair told me that this couldn't be fixed and that I needed to replace the entire faucet. I have this exact same faucet. Thank you for this simple fix, it was exactly as you demonstrated. The screw was just sitting there inside. Thank you!!
Oh my word.....this was soooo helpful! I am a widow, and my sweet husband was "Mr. Fix-it!" I had no idea what to do when the handle came off of my bathroom sink this week. It is exactly like yours. Thank-you so much for such a detailed and simple explanation. I got out my handy tools and it was done in a jiffy. I had a little trouble getting that base off as my hands are not as strong as they used to be, but I finally got it! Thanks again!!
My husband and I were amazed to find such a useful video that described exactly what we needed to know for re-attaching the handle to our faucet. We appreciate your attention to detail for each step so that nothing was left to our imagination. It took less than 10 minutes and we're not very "handy" with home repairs. Thank you so much!
Thank you soooooo much ....was all set to call a plumber. I am a retired old lady and your instructions were easy and you saved me a bunch...Thank you!!!
Another one bites the dust ! Add me to this long list. I studied it for 15 mins and couldn't fig it out. Googled it for the manual couldn't make sense of it. Thought hmmm what are the odds of youtube. And there you were ! Thanks so much for taking the time to help others in need .
This is the same style faucet as the one I need to fix, which was just lucky. I didn't even know the manufacturer for it. Your demo is completely clear and you didn't once accidentally get your hands doing the work in the way of the camera. I can see everything i need to. Thanks a lot.
Dude...just did a search on here (finally) on how to repair a moen roman tub handle that fell off. Its MY tub and I haven't been able to use it for months because my hubby (now ex) and boyfriend really thought a piece was missing and kind of got distracted with other stuff and even talked about going to Home Depot and asking "the experts ". Well, home alone tonight, I'm soaking in my kids little tub with sore hips and decided to TH-cam it and this video saved me! The screw was right where you said it was and I FIXED IT in minutes! Talk about feeling empowered! I needed that! Thank you!!
9 years later and you're still helping people by providing this content. Thank you so much for putting this video up and helping all of us! I was so close to calling a handy man because for some reason I couldn't find how to fix my broken handle online. My handle has been off a month now and I thought I'd try searching one last time online and you're video popped up this time, maybe I had a better question in my search box when googling, but anyway, thank you so much! I now don't have to waste 100's of dollars on a repair guy and I can wash my hands with hot water again!
Thank you Luke!!!!! You saved me a plumber charge, a hole in my wall and a replacement cartridge!!! It was for a Moen faucet in a roman tub. They said I would probably have to put a hole between the wall and the shower to get to the plumbing! What?!??🤦🏼♀️ I thought no way for a handle that came off so I did research and you were the only one that had the correct solution! Thank you very much! I’m a new subscriber!☺️
Luke - you're a STAR! This is EXACTLY the same model and same problem i have. I can't tell you enough how grateful I am to you for taking the time to make this video - your video was extremely clear and I'm confident i can do this! PS: readers will need to remember to turn the water OFF first ...
Thank you Thank you for posting this. I just fixed my faucet and now can take the replacement one I bought back. I have been procrastinating on installing the new one since there is almost always "LEAKS" when doing anything plumbing related. Now I can leave my non leaking system in place and continue to enjoy it. You truly did us all a favor!!!
You rock. My Moen faucet handle fell off the same way. The handle is marked "Moen 103040" but googling that turned up nothing. Your video saved the day. Thanks.
Blue thread lock is your friend. Thanks for this as I have a tub faucet that had this exact issue. I had opened it up and looked into the tube but did not understand what I was seeing. After seeing the screw on your problem child, I knew exactly what was wrong with mine! Thanks for the picture!
Luke, You have another overjoyed viewer!!! Your video made this an easy repair! Thanks so much for taking the time to post this video (now 7 years ago)!!!
Thank you Thank you - I have been without a handle for over 1 year. Today I decided to change the whole fixture and started searching for it on the net. I came across your video by accident, but I am so gland I did. I was able to fix it within 10 minutes. Thank you again.
I know this was posted a long time ago but I just want you to know that this video saved me so much money. I'm a single mom of teenage twins so I don't have money for a new faucet. Thank you so very much ☺
Thanks - the handle had been getting more and more loose over the past couple of weeks; the screw was still in place; all I had to do was tighten it and reassemble - the video was a lifesaver [a.k.a. money-saver]
Thanks! This also worked for a Moen model 6610 Brantford faucet. The only difference was unscrewing the cover for the cartridge, where you showed doing it pretty easily by hand, mine took a pipe wrench (use a cloth so as to not scratch the finish). No way to unscrew it by hand. The TH-cam video's like yours are so much better than what's on most companies sites, again thanks for taking the time to post it!
Thank you, you saved the day! my handle had not come off, but was super loose and driving me crazy. I kept searching through TH-cam videos trying to find the answer, but all of the handles that were shown had set screws somewhere in the handle. Finally, I came across your video that had the same model Moen faucet that I had. Not until the end did I figure out how the base unscrewed and came off. Easy fix with a Phillips head screwdriver to tighten the screw deep inside, and I'm back to business! I even unscrewed the other side and tightened it as well. You're my hero for today! Thank you, Luke!
My biggest obstacle to fixing my Moen 4570 was identifying the part number. I had tried to disassemble the handle several times w/o success. Finally got "all up in it" and inspected the main spout which is where the part # was etched. Then I found your video and am back in business. Thanks!
Luke, thank you so much from Japan! I`ve encountered the exact same situation and been amazed that TH-cam has the solution for such a niche problem! You are a real saint. THANKS AGAIN!!
Thanks Luke for the ins and outs of this faucet. I didn't know where to start beforehand. One note, if the faucet is already in the off position, you can remove the handle and base without shutting off water underneath,
We had the very same problem with our faucet that is like yours. We followed your instructions and voila! it fixed the problem in minutes. THANK YOU. We had no idea what to do besides call in the plumber.
Thank you. I'm handy and could not figure this thing out for my life. My handle was just loose, not off, and there was NO WHERE to tighten it. Thanks for taking the time, Luke.
I have little (if any) plumbing experience and this video made it a piece of cake. I had the same exact problem. I am sure it saved me a call to the plumber - great job on the video!
THANK YOU!!!! I just spent the longest time trying to figure out how to dismantle the faucet handle....and sure enough, here is your perfect solution on TH-cam!!!
Thank you for posting this video. These instructions helped to repair my Moen bathtub faucet. Same exact issue with screw. Contractor stated we needed to take tub face off to go underneath to fix. Singing praises for this saved me $$$$
Brilliant !!! I very rarely comment, but this was so easy to follow. Thanks so much Luke. I have a Kohler and it was exactly the same repair. I was reluctant to do this since I thought I would need a part but when I saw it was just a screw I just had to fix it myself. Thanks again.
Thanks to you and Mr. Google, my unhopeful search brought me right here. Same faucet, same problem. But with your guide I fixed it myself in only a few minutes. I actually laughed out loud in triumph when I saw the screw lying down inside the cylinder. It was extra welcome now, since with CV-19 isolation lockdown, I figured it might be months before I could persuade a plumber to come for a minor call. Now we can wash our hands properly again, so it was of special importance. Thank you again. And based on your experience, I've bookmarked the video for future reference.
Thank you!!! I had broken handle on a similar faucet and your video did the trick. Now my wife is mad that it was so simple, yet it took me a year to fix.
Thanks so much for your video!! It's exactly what happened to our faucet! Saved a plumber's visit and cost!!! Very nice of you to upload your video and inform others!!!
I went to the Home Depot with a picture exactly like yours, and all the guy could tell me was how to order a whole new unit-- and order two as the other was sure to fail soon. Thanks for saving me a good hundred bucks. I needed my big channelocks to get it off, but it was easy from there. And as you warned, the other one was working loose. Finally, it's not surprising yours re-failed. That's why Moen discontinued this model. Thanks again.
Excellent video. I looked and looked at the faucet handle and knew something had to come off but could not get the round globe bottom to budge, then I took a large pipe wrench with a wash cloth to it and BINGO! Got er done! Thanks so much!!!
Hi Luke: Yep. The hot water handle on a similar faucet had almost fallen off by the time I decided to tighten it. After jiggling it came off in my hand with just the threads of the screw showing. I searched through TH-cam and found your video. 5 minutes later I'm back on the La-Z-Boy having a pop. Thanks for your help.
Thank you so much. The handle on my faucet has been getting loose for the last year. I'm not the handiest person on the block, so I kept putting off this repair. This morning the handle fell off, and I could not figure out what held it on. After watching your video, I fixed my faucet in less than five minutes. Thanks again.
Thank you Sir! Obviously, this is a very common problem but not one that is intuitively obvious to fix. With the help of your video, we are up and running again and no expensive service calls. Your time and effort has helped hundreds of us, and is much appreciated.
Five stars! It worked. This is the most helpful video I've ever used on youtube. It probably saved me $200 calling a plumber. Moen's overly complicated faucets are really to blame here, but this video guides you exactly through the mysterious screw loose issue.
Luke. Thank you so much for posting that video. Also thanks to Moen for putting the part number of their faucet right on the front of it which makes maintenance and repairs super-simple. Our handle came off on Easter morning, and I was expecting the repair to be expensive and time consuming. Thanks to you taking the effort to provide this excellent video, it only took me 10 minutes to do the repair, and it didn't cost me a cent. Thanks!
You're the freaking man! I've literally had three faucet handles just dangling for several years and could not figure it out myself until I noticed that the faucet had a model number on it
Thank you SO much for this advice. I have the same faucet with exactly the same problem. Watched the video twice and then made my repair-good as new. I had ignored the loose handle until it fell off one morning. Thanks again for the video, saved a call to the plumber!
Thank you so much for the help with tightening a loose faucet handle. This also revealed that my hot and cold cartridges were reversed which is why the lever handles were parallel to the faucet when off, which has driven me crazy for several years. So I am doubly appreciate.
Hey Luke! You are the only one I could find on the net that had the same problem as me. My handle wasn't off yet, but after watching your vid, I knew that screw was at least loose. Took me about 5 minutes to make it good as new! Thanks for your very helpful video! (The more things I fix, the more the wife loves me... ; - )
Exactly what I needed. I have the same faucet but on my tub. On mine the screw was down deeper; TIP to fish it out I used a small screwdriver with a piece of tape on the end. Thanks so much.
Very nice. My Mom has a T4570 just like this one and the handles aren't lining up, but I couldn't find the set screw to remove the handles. Thanks to your video, I now realize how the handles are removed. A million thanks for saving me hours of frustration.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. :) I phoned Moen Canada and waited 20 mintues and then the line went dead. I phoned again and the same thing happened. Meanwhile I went to your video and fixed the problem. Thank you once again for a great job well done.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been avoiding fixing ours and contemplated hiring a plumber to do it! So glad I was able to do it myself, thanks to your great video!!
It worked like a charm but my tube where the screw was in was longer. I used a twizeer to pull up the screw. Mine was broken since the first day I bought the brand new home twenty years ago. Thanks again!!
Perfect, just what I needed- thanks! A suggestion: put a little blue thread locker on the screw threads before reassembly, and you'll never have to worry about it coming loose again. I took the other faucet handle apart and did this to both screws; permanent fix 👍👍
Dude...you are AWESOME !!! We rent our condo, and the exact same thing happened to us. I thought I was going to have to spend hundred to replace the faucet. I borrowed my wife's tweezers, and pulled out the screw. 5 minute fix. Thank you for this.
Great video! Thanks. This must be a common issue with Moen faucets. My only suggestion is that you probably shouldn't have waited until the 6:10 mark to mention the little detail of turning off the water at the valve. If you're still monitoring this video, maybe you might want to consider adding a subtitle at the beginning to that effect.
such a great video! I happen to have the same sink faucet and the handle fell off yesterday-- I had no idea how to fix but didn't want to have to call someone. Your video enabled me to successfully fix it! Thank youuu!!!
awesome video!!! worked perfectly. I had no idea that I had a Moen faucet, but looking in the part that fell off I recognized the Moen symbol. I saw a number, and looked up the part. Then I found this video.
THANK YOU! I had the same problem with the same side of the faucet and was at a total loss as to how to fix it and thought I was going to have to call a plumber. I think it took me longer to watch your video than it did to actually fix it once I knew what to do :) I so appreciate you posting this--super helpful and couldn't be more simple to do.
Not the same faucet but had the exact same issue and could not figure out how the heck to fix it or how it all went back together. Was super helpful. Thanks!
Luke - thanks a ton for posting this. I have the same problem and I was pretty much stuck until I found your video. I kept looking for some hidden set screw to allow me to diss-assemble the round base of the handle. And since mine doesn't unthread very easily - it was not obvious.
Thank you.. My handle was loose so I took off the handle extension and tried to use an Allen wrench inside the threaded hole… I couldn’t figure out how it was installed. Your video got it repaired.
Thank you so much, this has been broken at my place for a very long time and following your instructions I found the screw exactly where you did! I even had a plumber tell me that the whole thing had to be replaced.
It’s been a few years since I posted this video and believe it or not the handle fell off AGAIN. I actually used my own video for instructions - very meta.
hahaha, nice
Did you put any low grade loctite on it this time?
By the way thanks for the vid. I couldn't figure out how to get mine off to fix the wiggles in the handle. Your vid did the trick. Thank you.
I think I've been here at least once before. I keep forgetting that the darn screw is right there in the dang hole.
Too funny! My cold water handle came off twice within 2 years. Your instructions are a great help. Maybe one day I'll invest in a faucet that doesn't include the periodic handle replacement ritual.
My problem is when people come over, the hot side ends up pointing at the back wall when off. People pushing too hard. Not sure how to tighten it up so it stops at a 90 degree like the cold side. Not sure why they push so hard. It turns easy and goes off at the 90 degree point, but they push it further back.
I looked on Reddit for a simple fix and they all said I needed replacement parts. I was just able to fix my sink following this video. Thank you! 😊
My plumber who was here for another repair told me that this couldn't be fixed and that I needed to replace the entire faucet. I have this exact same faucet. Thank you for this simple fix, it was exactly as you demonstrated. The screw was just sitting there inside. Thank you!!

Your story is exactly why I make these types of videos. So glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

Couldnt get mine off.. Even using rubberband for grip.. I will try your idea
Wow... you rock. I swear my handyman would have said this thing is too old and just needs to be replaced. 2 minutes tops, tightened both handles.
Dude this is awesome thank you so much , my screw fell just like yours , I was looking all over for it before I watched your video. You’re a hero
Thank you, you saved the day! my handle had not come off, but was super loose and driving me crazy.

This exact thing just happened in our bathroom and I knew there had to be a screw somewhere.
Lifesaver. Thank you sir!
My biggest obstacle to fixing my Moen 4570 was identifying the part number. I had tried to disassemble the handle several times w/o success. Finally got "all up in it" and inspected the main spout which is where the part # was etched. Then I found your video and am back in business. Thanks!
Luke, thank you so much from Japan! I`ve encountered the exact same situation and been amazed that TH-cam has the solution for such a niche problem! You are a real saint. THANKS AGAIN!!
どういたしまして !!!
5 years later and the gift that keeps on giving! Thanks for the helpful video
This was my exact problem with exactly the the same faucets. I fixed it with your help. Thank you so much for posting this very helpful video.
Thanks Luke for the ins and outs of this faucet. I didn't know where to start beforehand. One note, if the faucet is already in the off position, you can remove the handle and base without shutting off water underneath,
Thanks man! Great info! Used it today, with zero knowledge of plumbing or repair I figure you saved me a couple hundred bucks. Good bless!
We had the very same problem with our faucet that is like yours. We followed your instructions and voila! it fixed the problem in minutes. THANK YOU. We had no idea what to do besides call in the plumber.
Thank you. I'm handy and could not figure this thing out for my life. My handle was just loose, not off, and there was NO WHERE to tighten it. Thanks for taking the time, Luke.
I have little (if any) plumbing experience and this video made it a piece of cake. I had the same exact problem. I am sure it saved me a call to the plumber - great job on the video!
I can't believe I went out and bought a whole new faucet, and this was all I had to do! Thank you so much!
Saved me a $75 handyman visit...and you were the first video in the list, with my exact faucet. Thanks for the education.
THANK YOU!!!! I just spent the longest time trying to figure out how to dismantle the faucet handle....and sure enough, here is your perfect solution on TH-cam!!!
Thank you!! You saved me from buying a whole new faucet! Your instructions were really easy to follow!

I am not the handiest person and for sure the video was helpful. Similar situation with our bathroom faucet and was able to fix it. Thank you much!
Thank you so much. The handle on my faucet has been getting loose for the last year. I'm not the handiest person on the block, so I kept putting off this repair. This morning the handle fell off, and I could not figure out what held it on. After watching your video, I fixed my faucet in less than five minutes. Thanks again.
My problem was exactly like yours. I was about to go to HD to ask for help but your video saved the day! Thanks!
Thanks Man!!! I had no idea what I was looking at when the handle fell off.
Thanks so much.I was about to disconnect from the bottom and look for the screw in the pipe :) . You save my day !
Same here. the video was spot on for what I needed to know. Thanks Luke!
Same here. I was about to disconnect it from under the sink.
THANK YOU!!!!! You are awesome! My handle has been broken for over a year. Found your video today and fixed it in 5 minutes. Fantastic job!
Thank you Sir! Obviously, this is a very common problem but not one that is intuitively obvious to fix. With the help of your video, we are up and running again and no expensive service calls. Your time and effort has helped hundreds of us, and is much appreciated.
Five stars! It worked. This is the most helpful video I've ever used on youtube. It probably saved me $200 calling a plumber. Moen's overly complicated faucets are really to blame here, but this video guides you exactly through the mysterious screw loose issue.
Thank you, I searched nearly an hour and found my issue (as yours) except mine was Kohler, same mechanism, so I fixed it.
Good to know it works for Kohler too. Thanks.
I watched this video twice! First time the cold water handle fell off, then months later the hot! Thanks for this super helpful video.
Mine fell off more than once too. Couldn’t hurt to put a few drops of Loctite on the threads so prevent it from happening again.
Luke. Thank you so much for posting that video. Also thanks to Moen for putting the part number of their faucet right on the front of it which makes maintenance and repairs super-simple. Our handle came off on Easter morning, and I was expecting the repair to be expensive and time consuming. Thanks to you taking the effort to provide this excellent video, it only took me 10 minutes to do the repair, and it didn't cost me a cent. Thanks!
I’ve been puzzled by these faucets for weeks! Thanks so much for posting this. Very helpful!
Excellent! After searching on line without success you are the only one I found with the answer! Thanks so much!
You're the freaking man! I've literally had three faucet handles just dangling for several years and could not figure it out myself until I noticed that the faucet had a model number on it
Thank you SO much for this advice. I have the same faucet with exactly the same problem. Watched the video twice and then made my repair-good as new. I had ignored the loose handle until it fell off one morning. Thanks again for the video, saved a call to the plumber!
Thank you so much for the help with tightening a loose faucet handle. This also revealed that my hot and cold cartridges were reversed which is why the lever handles were parallel to the faucet when off, which has driven me crazy for several years. So I am doubly appreciate.
Thank you, thank you. You are a life saver. Thought the whole faucet would need replacing.
Hey Luke! You are the only one I could find on the net that had the same problem as me. My handle wasn't off yet, but after watching your vid, I knew that screw was at least loose. Took me about 5 minutes to make it good as new! Thanks for your very helpful video! (The more things I fix, the more the wife loves me... ; - )
Exactly what I needed. I have the same faucet but on my tub. On mine the screw was down deeper; TIP to fish it out I used a small screwdriver with a piece of tape on the end. Thanks so much.
Very nice. My Mom has a T4570 just like this one and the handles aren't lining up, but I couldn't find the set screw to remove the handles. Thanks to your video, I now realize how the handles are removed. A million thanks for saving me hours of frustration.
Your video saved us a plumber's visit! It was so helpful and easy to follow. Thanks so much!
Thanks, dude! My bathroom sink hot water handle just came right off but thanks to you I formed new brain pathways and have hot water again. Dope!
Thanks so much! I almost cried when the handle fell off of my sink and you saved my tissues! I now feel like I am a plumber! Thanks!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. :) I phoned Moen Canada and waited 20 mintues and then the line went dead. I phoned again and the same thing happened. Meanwhile I went to your video and fixed the problem. Thank you once again for a great job well done.
Excellent video! After watching for 1 min 32 seconds, I had enough info to fix my own faucet in about 2 minutes!Thank you so much!
YAY! I'm unemployed and can't afford a plumber, this video was a total save! THANK YOU!
you are soooo awesome. I have been working on this for a week. I was about ready to pull the entire assembly off. Extra blessings your way
I was able to tighten the handles before they came off...all thanks to this video! Thank you sir!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been avoiding fixing ours and contemplated hiring a plumber to do it! So glad I was able to do it myself, thanks to your great video!!
Thank you! I was looking everywhere for how to do this. Must not be a common type of faucet. Saved me from having to replace the whole dumb faucet.
Lifesaver! I was ready to rip out the front of the ceramic tile tub enclosure thinking I had to replace the entire unit
It worked like a charm but my tube where the screw was in was longer. I used a twizeer to pull up the screw. Mine was broken since the first day I bought the brand new home twenty years ago. Thanks again!!
You, our new best friend, are a lifesaver...or at least very close to one. Thanks for taking the time to record this; we do really appreciate it!
Perfect, just what I needed- thanks! A suggestion: put a little blue thread locker on the screw threads before reassembly, and you'll never have to worry about it coming loose again. I took the other faucet handle apart and did this to both screws; permanent fix 👍👍
Dude...you are AWESOME !!! We rent our condo, and the exact same thing happened to us. I thought I was going to have to spend hundred to replace the faucet. I borrowed my wife's tweezers, and pulled out the screw. 5 minute fix. Thank you for this.
Great video! Thanks. This must be a common issue with Moen faucets. My only suggestion is that you probably shouldn't have waited until the 6:10 mark to mention the little detail of turning off the water at the valve. If you're still monitoring this video, maybe you might want to consider adding a subtitle at the beginning to that effect.
such a great video! I happen to have the same sink faucet and the handle fell off yesterday-- I had no idea how to fix but didn't want to have to call someone. Your video enabled me to successfully fix it! Thank youuu!!!
Same exact thing happened to my hot water handle. Thanks so much for the video and clear instructions!
awesome video!!! worked perfectly. I had no idea that I had a Moen faucet, but looking in the part that fell off I recognized the Moen symbol. I saw a number, and looked up the part. Then I found this video.
THANK YOU! I had the same problem with the same side of the faucet and was at a total loss as to how to fix it and thought I was going to have to call a plumber. I think it took me longer to watch your video than it did to actually fix it once I knew what to do :) I so appreciate you posting this--super helpful and couldn't be more simple to do.
thanks. I just found this video , and I just took me less than 3 mins to fix it. great help
Thank you for this video. I successfully repaired my faucet handle using your instructions!
Not the same faucet but had the exact same issue and could not figure out how the heck to fix it or how it all went back together. Was super helpful. Thanks!
Had a same problem thought I had to buy new faucet but cost $0 because of you thanks so much
Luke - thanks a ton for posting this. I have the same problem and I was pretty much stuck until I found your video. I kept looking for some hidden set screw to allow me to diss-assemble the round base of the handle. And since mine doesn't unthread very easily - it was not obvious.
Thank you.. My handle was loose so I took off the handle extension and tried to use an Allen wrench inside the threaded hole… I couldn’t figure out how it was installed. Your video got it repaired.
Thank you so much for the handy video. my handle was coming loose but not off. Your video came up on my first google search. great video!
Most excellent - you saved me time and much agony! Really appreciate this video.
Thank you so much. I was able to fix the faucet handle and saved some money from not having to call a handyman!
GREAT VID! THE BEST.Tighten that faucet tight, no movement.
Superb! As the rest of the crew says I also had the EXACT same issue. Well done!!.
Thanks,
Luke. Wow, what are the odds I'd find a video for the same model and the same problem?
Did it, fixed it. I owe you a beer.
