Glad that it helped you, too :D

Talked with Nik about that, he checked it and said, that he wanted to email all the guys, who got a clator with that problem. Could be that about 20 - 25 devices are effected.
Mine also had voltage :shock: at the standby switch. So, everybody who got his clator between march an may 2010 should check that, i would suggest.

What do you mean it had voltage at the standby switch?

The chassis was hot?

Well, what I mean is: I got an electric shock touching the tip of the standby switch :shock:
Didn't kill me, obviously - but hmm ... yes, this IS bad!
Since I emailed Nik and he answered immediately to check, correct and warn everybody who might have a device with that failure, I was relieved.
Reading now, that there are still people around with that problem, I thought it might be a good idea to post a warning.
BUT - that could be be a problem with my device ONLY (added to the hum), so - I'm NOT beating Nik here on that, since I don't know what he did to correct that, or what happened at all.

Love and peace,
