Update: Set the clock to "test mode" yesterday evening. This morning only two tubes had this glowing wires. (tube 1 and 2, who had the most wires glowing.)
Tube 2 had glowing wires only on 2,3,4 and 9. no difference in the tube with all the wires glowing. I am at work at the moment, so I am exited to see when I get home, if it has improved during the day Attached an image. fredag 25. november 2016 14.22.19 UTC+1 skrev MichaelS følgende: > > Please post some pictures showing the problem.
