Hi all, I have had a nagging problem with my 2285B since I bought it. Every once in a while, it decides it wants to hum, and a 60 Hz hum starts. Sometimes turning the unit off and on remedies the hum, sometimes leaving it off for a while does the trick. It was humming so much that I sidelined it for a while.
Last month I took it to the shop to get repaired...when I brought it home, the humming was still there. So I took it back. Brought it home a second time, and it worked...but it still hums occasionally! The first time, the repair note said "soldering on circuit board" "function test runs ok" and the second time, the note just said they ran the unit.
So. Seeing as it's a PITA to take it down to this electronics shop for whatever they do to it, I'd like to ID the problem precisely. This seems like a good place to ask some knowledgeable folks for ideas how I could permanently fix the humming problem. I am relieved for every time it goes away on its own, but I fear that the problem will never go away completely unless I get to the root of it and fix whatever is causing the hum.
Help, please? Anyone? EchoWars?:scratch2:
