I really appreciate a man who knows his equipment. Started poking around ST202 and found that if I pressed down on it every thing calmed down ie voltage and temp stabilized don't know if it was a cap or pin on the chip but I reheated everything with my needle point iorn tip and all is stable now I will install it in am and cross my fingers.
