tahir pooh-bah Registered: 27/02/2004 Posts: 1919 Loc: London	My new karma (first one stolen) has needed resetting three times in 2 weeks, it's getting stuck on powering down, hourglass keeps spinning, and the hard drive starts clicking. I'd only had to reset my old one once, and that was on the old firmware, should I get a refund or is it going to be OK?

If it still gives disk clicking after that, you may want to return it while still under warranty - but give it a chance first. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs
