Anyone tried this of late? Tom te tom te tomFor a week or two it wouldnt switch on in the morning from standby - you had to switch it off and back on. Then it would start ok and then turn itself off and sit there with a flashing green LED (the one that goes red on standby) for about 5 minutes then go black and then start flashing again. I've googled it but no luck. Search for parts drew an 'out of stock' even though its only 4 years old. Tom te tom te tomConsumer driven world.. they want you to send it back for repair or buy a new one, so they don't make parts available, or decided it's too old (yes I know!) and discontinued spares. It does sound as if the PSU slowly died and then finally gave up.
