Bob, For the set that keeps shutting off,check for cold solder connections on the pincushion board..I had three with the same problem.It is a highly intermittent condition. I ended up soldering complete board and hard-wireing the cable at connector BL103.So far, the sets have been in the field for about two months. HTH.
