Had a case five or six years ago with an 8x24 DR5 that crashed. I ordered a replacement with software. Tried the old software in the new cab with no joy. Tried the new software in old cab, still no joy. Replaced both the software and cab and the system is still running today!

"Call a tech..."
What an original idea.
Did you come up with that on your own or did you consult someone?

Thanks JW

We replaced the 2 1.0 Farad 5.5v capacitors in the software cartridge.
smile This solved the problem.

But, as nfcphoneman sez---you might have to get someone in there to troubleshoot. Otherwise, you may be buying parts that you may not need.
