Best of luck with your test Graham :o) I also wanted to run them 24/7 but
due to
them achieving the same status as "rocking horse sh*t" I gave up
on the idea
(I didn't like the thought of no replacements).

I seem to remember that I had the back light on and when I checked into the
failure
I found that the output side of the transformer (the one on the high
voltage
PCB) was open circuit. So it could be that you need to have the back light
off?
