Just use the "Car Guys" (from NPR) method: put some black electrical tape over the display. Problem solved! :-) When I worked at Tektronix Laboratories in the 80s, we used to make crude cameras by unsoldering the metal lid off the ceramic RAM chips of the day, then focusing an image onto the chip and then demuxing the RAS and CAS info. A lot of cheapo electronics put a chip directly on a board, with a drop of epoxy over it. Perhaps this unit missed the epoxy step. Take it back for a refund. :::: Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi, raise aphids as livestock, launch armies into wars, use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies, capture slaves, engage in child labor, exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television. -- Lewis Thomas :::: Jan Steinman, EcoReality Co-op :::: _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)
