Subject: RE: Spyrus units going down
-March 2002
This
morning, I tried the same 50199 procedure to 50198, and the unit now works. It
displays [Card Manager \n 1.1.2], [29 NOP \n
1:
10]. Maybe there
is something to this séance stuff, after all.
Indeed, I am becoming
convinced of this myself. Just in
case, I will also have Steve Knecht forward his rubber chicken and thoughts on
central count ballot curvature.
Please contact Spyrus and see if there is anything to this “10 minute
battery out”. If we still have a
unit in the squares mode of failure (even one that was slated for me) and it
also does not respond to the calc button, send it to Spyrus along with the unit that won’t start at all. I don’t remember the tech contacts but
they were pretty friendly. The
“off/calc” button is totally controlled by Spyrus
(or put another way, out of my control).
If you can show them the squares mode, and the
condition can be fixed reliably by 10 minutes with the battery out but not 15
seconds with the battery out, maybe they will lend a hand. I don’t think they won’t be impressed
with the “card/on” button failing, since they can chalk that up to a problem
with our code.
