But that makes no sense to me.  :-//   :-/O  :wtf:
LDDM:
I just found this post from 2022 of someone having (I think) the same issue.

Similar thing here. It seems to be more common than I thought...

Port from 2018 with similar problems:

Sadly as you have seen, seldom people who post about their problems ever provide a conclusion. 

I live near fresh water and it's not a problem like other parts of the USA.  I've never had to consider conformal coating.  Do you have to store your electronics in special containers or is not a problem where you live?  Is the humidity always high enough that ESD isn't a concern?   
J-R:
The BM869s is actually pretty well sealed.  There are gaskets/o-rings around the battery cover and the banana jacks, even the screw heads.  So I don't think humidity would impact it.

But you could still fully inspect the PCB under a microscope looking for any solder issues or corrosion, clean selector switch and jack contacts.

A side note is that each jack's BeepJack feature does not function if their respective fuse is blown, so double-check those.

What 9V batteries are you using?
