The only way we can reset it, is if we unplug our main battery, and the backup battery for 10 seconds. and plug in the backup battery FIRST and then the main battery. Is anyone having this problem?  |
Hmm...could we have a batch of intermittent controllers this year?
The symptoms sound very similar to mine, except I am running the 2005 IFI camera drivers.

I hope someone knows something about this!
