- Your description of the problem exactly matches what I was experiencing.
- Yesterday I found another solution: hit the unit real hard and try again
- - so far it worked every time. It seems to be some kind of switch that
- gets stuck. Time to bring it in for repair. I will then hook up my
- microfan and see if I can drop the operating temperature to lecvel that
- keeps the circuitry alive a little longer.
