i'll take care of fertsy  ;). I'll be checking his dongle tomorrow to see if anything is wrong. If something is wrong I have all the spare parts for another dongle at my disposal.

I am so glad you got it going. I was thinking of having you send it to me but knew the time would be too long.

Can I ask where the solder joint was cause I still do not know if your meter was driving me crazy or if I was already there!

To be honest I am not too sure. I kinda hit everything up then tested with a different meter, although same model and brand just different year and got a power fluctuation with data being sent from vixen..

I am half wondering if the battery on the first multimeter was running low?? other than that I got good readings after resoldering. I wish I would have double checked the oscillator after to check the meter but i did not and its all cased back up and i am not touching it, lol.


Thanks guys!

OK this is getting old. After I got it fixed the show ran 4 days and is now appearing to do the same thing as before. I will try re-soldering one more time but there has to be something that is causing it to stop working.

Got it working again...for now.  <md..

I have some question in my mind that it has something to do with the cat 5 module. When I was troubleshooting and unplugged it they came on. Wiggled a little and it worked. Re-soldered and it works. Lets see if I can make it to 8 days in a row this time.
