Dude, this thread you dug up is 7 years old. Thanks for getting me all excited.

My issue was this weekend so I'm glad I found someone else that has seen this. Poor guy must have been using dial up trying to fix an issue.

No problem brother! I am in the old school camp where we get a manual, get a good meter and start chasing wires; by the manual. Not only is if very fun, it is a great learning experience too. LOL, yea, 7 years I had just graduated to one of them phones that actually "open's up". It was amazing.
