Only a few - most sequences... what is that wacky wiggler of death called
again? And what motor?

Good point!
Also, you can bypass the onboard switch altogether by providing power to the
unit through a different pin. See page 37 of the manual, Figure 3.2b.
Basically, you provide + to the "V+" pin (3rd from the left if you're looking
at the back of the unit with the pin end up, or on top) and - to the "G" pin
(5th from the left if you're looking at the back of the unit with the pin end
up, or on top). The board should be labeled. The "+9" pin is the one that
uses the onboard switch, Figure 3.2a. Check out the Defy Gravity website if
you don't have the documentation:
http://defyg.com/control_support.html
If you run into them at a launch, you might also see if Kurt G. or Allen F.
might be able to help, as they have lots of experience with Control.

But then if you did this then you were just one unlucky purchaser that got a
bad
one.
