Sad indeed. I became so dependent upon my VIOMs that I always carried a
spare that I could use as an immediate replacement. Of course it always
ended up as the test VIOM!
I would certainly recommend contacting Roy at Phaedrus, I am sure that
he will do what he can to help. Probably a good time to get that spare
as well!
Best Regards
David

I seem to have broken it while connecting up an output. I've either
shorted some joints on the back of the board or dropped a strand of
wire onto the front. The only thing I noticed was a slight burning
smell.

Now when I power the board on, all the leds just stay on constantly
and the voltage regulator gets very hot and starts to smell, in fact
the metal has built up a powdery coating.

I'm hoping the factory can fix it or I'm up for a replacement :-(

It amazing how quickly you become depended on such a useful bit of
equipment, I feel lost without it. This weekend I was planning to wire
it up to control a sonic impact amp for ceiling speakers in the
bathroom. Now I'll have to wait for music in the morning...
