I have a M845 that is having some power issues.
Example: Put new batteries in, turn switch to 'On'...and it will either take ~5 mins to turn on, or won't turn on at all. It started happening while it was still under warranty. 2 trips to the dealer with no fix, same issues. Any reliable NV repair shops in Tx(I like to support local business)? ETA: Looking for reliable shops anywhere, but i'd like to find one in Tx. |

Sounds like a sleepy tube.... Not a good thing. Tube may need to be replaced. Did have a Photonis tube do that but buyer informs me it`s come right and has worked perfectly the last couple of months.
In first instance fire it up and just give it a good long run, IE: overnight in a box. Sometimes they are just temperamental. Vic is probably the guy for this question! |

So, turn it on and leave it on overnite? Say the tube needs replacing, how bad are we talking? |

Im not familiar with the m845.. Americans won`t let us have them!!!. From my understanding its a power up / supply problem. How to fix apart from a tube replace I don`t know.
My suggestion to my client was put new batteries in it and run it for 24 hours. Then see how it responds. So far its worked for him. Unfortunatly it was a tube that was only a few months old but he didn`t want to send it back to the Americas for repair at this stage. You can`t do it any harm running it. If its going to die it will die no matter what. |
