Paul,
What I should have added, was that between the possibility of
expanding plastics and metals, this heat effect may explain the
"Broken Hinge" phenomenon of a while ago.
If anyone else discovers anything similar, may be worth suggesting
that 2400'ers keep this in mind when closing their machines. May be
worth letting the machine cool first if time permits, or at least
pulling the screen over more lovingly after a long session.
Just my two bits. But would still appreciate any feedback from others.
Cheers,
Marc
