| 816985 | 2009-10-09 09:06:00 | I only got it on monday so plenty of time to send it back but im sending it back next week anyway, Im running it in now and now it's performing flawlessly. Maybe it was a sleepy diode or transisitor or something lol. |

| 816988 | 2009-10-09 21:43:00 | Is there a back-up battery in there somewhere that is slowly gaining a charge? Like a CMOS battery? How would that effect it? |

| 816989 | 2009-10-09 22:07:00 | More likely to be "dry" solder joints on PCB (inadequately soldered, therefore high resistance (may be slowly "making" better contact, thus performing correctly)), will probably fail in near future, get it looked at ;). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||
| 816990 | 2009-10-09 22:49:00 | Like a CMOS battery? How would that effect it? Insufficient battery energy (If applicable) will allow settings such as configuration stored in cmos or other volatile ram to become unpredictable. Once the power has been on for a reasonable length of time the battery will do it's job. A fancy set of digital scales failed to start correctly every morning until the unit had been left plugged in but turned off for three days, After that, no further problem until a Xmas break saw it unplugged for 3 weeks and back to square one. In an (assumed) endeavour to maximise the battery life the charger provided a bare 1.2v per cell when switched on, and only enough to charge at a 50 hour rate when switched off but supplied with mains power. I spent quite some time finding this out, and taught a butcher a couple of new words in the process. |

| 816992 | 2009-10-11 08:22:00 | Problem solved i carefully opened it up myself undid three screws near the hdmi circuit board and unplugged a 3 pin circuit cable on the main pcb and put it back on screwed the three screws near the hdmi inputs back up and all that appears to have fixed it, Has run faultless all day at all volumes, Ive thrown all the tests i can at it and fiddled with the settings and it is faultless so can't have been much of a problem as first thought. | Hitech (9024) | ||

| 816994 | 2009-10-11 20:12:00 | Thanks Greg it's also great that i managed to fix it still running faultless today as well. | Hitech (9024) | ||
