There were more *commercials* than the actual video - but it was pretty good to

I was up on the hill this afternoon loading new firmware into a controller when
my UHF Master II went down. Didn't even touch the thing...
The PS is working with 15 volts out and the 3 fuses in the front are fine. The

Any ideas?
Could be a dirty contact on the backplane.

the Controller, you refer to, that you were uploading new firmware, is that,

if not, perhaps try shutting down the system, with
