fly_tornado Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 has it gotten worse since this cold weather started?
John Raison Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Yes it only seems to happen in the early morning after a cold night yhen in the afternoon when it has warmed up a bit it works ??? John
fly_tornado Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 sounds like an IC is failing. I would send it back to the factory.
John Raison Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Thanks that was my next option as the unit has only done 15 hrs John
John Raison Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Please excuse my ignorence but what is anIC John
M61A1 Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Please excuse my ignorence but what is anICJohn An integrated circuit or "chip" a little black thing usually with lots of little legs on a circuit board.
damkia Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 An integrated circuit or "chip" a little black thing usually with lots of little legs on a circuit board. Otherwise known as an "Incendiary Container" - they can have a habit of turning into a "loverly bubbly gooo" that generate copious amounts of black smoke.
John Raison Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Thanks for your help i will take it out tomorrow and send it down to the dealer in the ACT John
Virago Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Smoke is what makes IC's and transistors actually work. If the smoke escapes, they don't work anymore! Resistors and capacitors work on the same principle! John.
