Re: Echoplex Woes

Hi Donovan,
I've seen something like that before.

Please do the following test:-

Plug in a cable to the Brother Sync socket.
If the EDP re-boots when you earth the tip of that lead to the
chassis of the edp then you know you have this fault.

Matthias Grob fixed my edp by adding a small capacitor onto the circuit 
board.
...maybe he can supply details.
