DMP Hoovers

["Bob La Londe" <usenet@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, this is number 4 or 5.

The manual says,

1.  Place a slotted screwdriver across the two J16 reset jumpers for two
seconds.
2.  Remove screwdriver.
3.  Enter the code 6653 (PROG) at the keypad.
4.  Enter Access Code (if prompted to do so).
5.  The keypad displays: PROGRAMMER.

Ok..

I hit the J16 jumper, walk over to the keypad, and it no longer responds.
After a while it comes up as system busy, then after a while longer it says
system trouble.  I do the voltage check as the tech support people suggest
and get the 5 volts on both sets of leads that indicate the processor is
locked up.

These panels are permanently locking up from trying to put them in program
mode.  And YES!  They were functioning properly before attempting to put
them program mode.

They hoover little green donkey appendages.  All you DMP guys who claim they
are wonderful are welcome to them.  These are all just over 5 years old.
Planned failure?

I don't put DMPs back in their place.  I'm afraid to service a DMP  panel at
this point for fear that it will self destruct.

HEY DMP.  Don't like what I have to say?  Sue me.  Everything I have had to
say about DMP is the truth.
