Sorry, but I must be misreading this. You've said that the board was diagnosed faulty, but you bought it anyway and it turned out faulty. Where is the mystery? Is this a problem with the English language? I thought I knew it inside- out, upside-down and back-to-front. I still think so. Yet your account has you tying yourself in knots over a known fault. -- Rgds Peter
