zpb, I really believe that they is a string of Quarks that just weren't built properly. It's just odd that so many have had good luck with theirs, but ours have crapped out the way that they did.
Yeah, I agree, I had a couple of solder joints that were near cold solders.
I really don't want any controller other than the Quark, but if this keeps up... I might just snatch up a MM.
