[1000mp] DVS-2 question

Sun, 3 Nov 2002 07:32:35 -0000

Hmmmm !

Why should a diode fail just because the battery has gone down ? My guess is
that there's something more simple like the new battery failing to make
contact properly, or (hope not) inserted wrongly. I've not had a diode fail
in mine when the battery went down.
