Re: [slim] Dead Transporter
Interesting, just happened to me too. After sending in a fault report to support, I browsed here under 'dead transporter' (of course, I should have done that first). I had the thing apart, checked voltages as I had a power supply failure a couple of years ago. Never though the fix would have been as simple! I wonder if the glitch was something to do with the latest download rather than a power supply spike? I think it happened to me running 7.0.1 - 17981.

Being programmable is great because it means that you can get the benefit of hardware upgrades as easily as upgrading firmware.

Couldn't the upset be detected by the firmware and the chip reprogrammed automatically instead? This is the kind of thing that could make non-technical users who haven't found the way to this forum very unhappy. For them the machine just died...
