Q I have a low frequency hum on some or all outputs, either all the time or for some part of the day, what is the probable cause ?
A It sounds as if the large capacitors in the power supply are failing, and need replacing. As a temporary work round we suggest reducing the DC rail voltages by 1V, as this reduces headroom, we suggest you use this only as a way to finish a session, while waiting for replacement parts to arrive. Note this does not apply to switch mode type power supplies.

Q Why is my Virtual Dynamic and/or TRG hardware not being found after my computer has been (a) repaired, or (b) switched off for a long time ?

Q Why are my Virtual Dynamics nor resetting properly or logging on in an intermittent fashion ?
A Check the power rail 5V at the VD card, if necessary re-trim at the power supply to give no less than 5V and no more than 5.2V on all VD cards.
