Tech support had me check bus voltage on each one with keypads connected and
without.  They said the board was toast each time.  Since I have had it
happen three times now I suspect some kind of defect or a bad batch of
boards or something.

The customer opted to keep it in this last case.  In previous ones I saved
the keypads for spares and pitched the boards.

What gets me is, "Sorry, Its locked up."  When Napco had their bad memory on
the P1632 a couple years ago they were sending me repalcement boards and a
comp for the time. I only had a couple of those.   Same with DSC and some of
the early 1555s that died for no apparent reason.  Neither just said
"Sorry."
