The KPA runs a check on the memory contents when it starts up. If something has changed that should not, then it will ask for a fresh firmware load. Since Jerry is not seeing this, then I don’t believe there is a firmware issue.
I _am_ concerned about the issue, which is why I suggest calling tech support when they open tomorrow. This has the feel of a stuck relay on the power supply board, but I am sure my friends in Watsonville will have a better idea as to what might be happening. 73!
