In The Hunt for Red October, National Security Advisor Jeffrey Pelt says to Soviet ambassador "Andrei" "You've lost another submarine?" Pelt pretends to be incredulous that the reds have lost a second sub after all the hoopla surrounding the loss of Red October. And so it has happened to me that after only minutes (of operation) after getting up and running again I've blown another Gecko. This time it was due to my failure to provide adequate strain relief which led to a broken wire. The Y wouldn't respond to keystrokes so I started looking for the problem. A broken wire was found so I immediately powered down. After making repairs and ensuring that all the rest of my system had strain relief I rebooted. Too late. Word to the wise. Check now.
This will be the last time I get knocked out of business. I went ahead and ordered another driver. I'll send the other one off for repairs (if possible), then I'll have a backup.
