Howdy
i have had the same problem with nec switches,i believe that shite just
happens sometimes , normally once a month , sometimes twice a day in that
month. There was two keys to press to reset that particular model and i had
much bigger problems to fix at the time so i never looked into it. i heard
that they all do it to some degree.
Cheers
cam
