You may be right Mac.

I tried the unit Friday night and it wouldn't boot. So I took it out of the rack and tried it on my work bench. Still no go. Then I tilted the unit to see the fromt panel better and all of a sudden it booted.

It worked through maybe 30 on/off cycles before I put it back in the rack. Soon after that it wouldn't boot again.

So I found an old Fuhrman power conditioner for $100 and put that in the rack. The VW+ has only failed to boot once since and then it only took a couple of tries to get it working.

So it's either the VW+ doesn't like my mains supply or there's something loose in the box.

Now since I'm six weeks out of warranty (yeah that sucks) I'll open the box and try to re-seat all the chips if it starts failing again.
