Hi Scott and the group,

While preparing for the Montreal Marathon, I am setting up my equipment and found 1 of my OT USB doing a wierd behavior. While I was reading it with OTWINCFG, I got a write error. I tried to unplug the tracker (from power supply) and as soon as I pluged it back, the fuse blew. I unplugged it, checked my cables, changed the fuse and plugged it back. Then, the red and green led's started flashing simultaniastly each second and are dim.

I've tried to enter the safe mode and none is working. Do you have an idea of the cause of this trouble and if so, do you think it is repairable. If the cost is higher than to buy a new one 'll wait

I've checked and the 5V regulator is working. The only thing I could figure is a µP failliure.

Any help will be appreciated.

it out.
