I was just reading through the new KDVR3 manual and noted the following.

"Hardware Upgrades
The following changes have been implemented in newer K3s to avoid the
possibility of shorts or intermittent
operation in some K3s. All the hardware needed is supplied with your KDSP3
kit."

My 3 day old K3 already came with these updates. Could yours need them??
