Hi, no success. All switches checked (we have not changed them anyway).

Tested with Q18.1.2.277 and BTS with two Linux and one Win7 computer. The USB-II communication is erradic, BTS does not work at all, the programmer can talk and identify the device, but not fully transfer a .sof file (error/crash after different % of uploads, trying many times, each time somewhat different but never 100 % and green).

The D5 PWR ERR is still flashing fast intermittently. (When I tested with some of the switches related to supply settings, it went to bright amber light, and back to flashing again when I set the switch back to the factory setting.)

To me it seems like a hardware problem with an on-board supply.
