Is the PSU for the display only? Are sckramer and I talking about the same component? I wasn't aware that PSU was solely for the display. Most units that have that failing PSU eventually stop working all together. Fizbin's

Most Transporter issues seem to stem from faulty PSU's. Perhaps some sort of voltage leak is occurring. If that turns out to be your issue, you can purchase a replacement here... https://www.rapidonline.com/powerpax-uk-sw3376-mini-open-frame-psu-5vdc-2-3a-85-2251 ---

I've owned this Transporter since it was new (no TransNav knob), and it's performed flawlessly over the years. One problem has come up very recently - it is suddenly running hot - there is a -significant- increase in the amount of heat that you can feel when touching the case. Here's what I can s
