Pete - Would still be under manufacturer's warranty ?

I should have gotten on to this sooner

I simply figured that it was maybe a bit of fluff or a plug not sitting right

There is a 9 month warrenty on the DMD, the game is a bit older than that

the DMD is the same as all the others, I have a new one, I will install it on the weekend and see if it is the DMD or something else
