Re: AD10 problem

["Rob Iles" <rob.iles@xxxxxxxxx>]

unnoficial tech support would be to give it a good sturdy thump on a
solid
surface - - - unlikely to damage solid state components, and *might* free
up
sticky relay contacts (all with no power attached of course!) - - - and
then
give it another try in circuit :) - -- - - - it's either broken, or very
broken - not much to lose at this point!

am off to bed - but will look forward to reading the follow up on this!
