We using them for various types of equipment. Recently we had found one that was unable to be turned on, and showed an "internal configuration fault". What a help that was haha!    -Andy-

That's the extent of my knowledge over these. I previously worked on DC SCRs...Bit different :/ -Andy-

One of our guys found one handheld programmer that are held in the door panel had fallen off (related?). So he put the handheld back in place and it would turn on. We have no clue what could have done it. I personally think it was a freak accident as everything else is fine. -Andy-

A lightning strike is NOT the only time I've seen similar damage. There was also that time when a disgruntled employee broke into a server room of one of my clients' and literally blow-torched the main production server. If only I had my camera with me... =--My Gear List --=
