All,
I'm jumping into the middle of this since I'm located only a few miles from
the Ray Allen Company. I just talked with Scott (one of the owners) and
relayed your problem to him.
His response was that, yes the early "MAC" label had some problems because
they were over-driving the LED's. Some models that were shipped sometime
between ~2004 & 2006 also had some connection problems because of the Lead
free solder they were forced to use for European shipments. The later Model
RP-3 had no problems that they are aware of. The good news is that if
anyone is having a problem, just let Scott know (<Scott@RayAllen.com> and he
will replace it at 1/2 price. ($43.00 US plus ~10.00 Air Parcel Post) No
need to return the failed part.
Hope this helps
