- Rob,
- I've followed your story since the beginning, and I'm not sure
- what to make of it. From the sounds of it, you've somehow substituted
- most/all of the main boards, and the unit still behaves erratically.
- Have you verified that the power supply (all voltages) is present and
- stable? That's the only other component common to all functions.
- Check that out, and email me if the P.S. seems OK. I'd like to
- help you with this (not in the way Morales did, though :-)
