norman Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Not 12 hrs, get it down powered then re-commisioned once the power is reinstated. Otherwise you'll be up in the night along with your neighbours. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 No problem, also not uncommon for the nvm chip in the 9800 to dump the programming. Quote Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
