I would guess an intermittent fault that grew into becoming permanent. Most likely component failure, or the soldering. Now you've got a working replacement, you could try being brutal to the bad one. Bang it a few times, hard, see if the thing suddenly starts working again. You often see that with soldering faults. And you know the device deserves it for messing you about. ;-) -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
