i dont know too much about this, but i have heard of this happening.
in some 2950 models, there is a small watch battery on the display board i think, that will kill the CPU when it goes dead.
not sure what to replace it with, but the markings should be on the old battery.
i think in some later models this battery was replaced with a capacitor.
sorry i cant be of more help, but i bet this has been discussed on this forum before.
try searching the forum for it.
best of luck,
matt
anyone wanting a "clean signal", just look to the left and build one of these!!!
