I understand anti mask on detectors, Have seen magnets removed and stuck on contacts. But have never seen anyone attempt to introduce a foreign magnet to a contact, which begs the question, are g3 contacts overkill especially with their reliability issues.

Has anyone actually heard of someone defeating a g2 contact with magnets externally?. In thirty years I have not come across it, nor any colleagues I have spoken with! Seems current M.O. for bad guys is crash grab and dash!.

If you've checked all three fuses and your battery leads are connected correctly to the pcb. If your panel doesn't die when you pull the mains fuse with a fresh battery connected, then certainly it's your main board. On the plus side, you've got some spare batteries now! I managed to do the same to a G2 by connecting the battery the wrong way around. Regards

Until a couple of years ago I had a couple of record player communicators. Nobody wanted them. Got fed up tripping over them so dumped them. Could've been the jewel in your crown.

A scantronic 9100 to replace an old modern74 panel fully loaded with all doors, windows and pressure pads. Being new to the job I Yanked the old panel off in seconds flat, cutting off all the old cabling. Now left with a dozen "too short" multicores sticking out of the wall and no idea what they did or where they went. Lesson learnt.
