[Blackpool] Stuff

[James Page]

Hi all,

Mike Hull - when's the open day? It might be useful to plan for and gather
some information from it that can be supplied as supporting information to
any application.

Mike Hewitt - ta - I'll disassemble and reassemble this week. Could it
possibly be anything to do with the new thermal paste being applied to the
processor? I'm wondering if it might not have been applied properly,
causing it to overheat.




Best wishes,
James
