If you have a multimeter, test the power supply output voltages and compare to those in the service manual (should be about the same as the VZ-1/10M, so you can use that service manual).  They should be reasonably accurate and stable over time.

            Hi Again,



Thanks for all the help and comments.



I think the only way to check is to crack it open and have a look, 

changing the battery in the process just for good measure. 

The display is not like the other VZ modules, it's a 2 line 16 char 

green on black, a bit like the Yamaha TX81Z. It's certainly not going 

dim in any way so I reckon a power supply, dry solder joint or 

something overheating more likely.



I know pretty much bugger all about electronics so I'll just be 

looking for something obvious. I know as much about electronics as my 

g/f does about cars, i.e. bugger all...



I'll let you know when i've broken the seal on this ark and reply 

with the details.



Thanks again..



Chris Poacher
