Re: [misterhouse-users] Story: CM11A strangeness

[Rick S. <mis...@co...>]

Yeah, I believe the X10 troubleshooting guide for the CM11A is something like:
If it stops working, unplug it, and plug it back in
If that doesn't work, unplug it for 5 minutes and plug it back in
an hour
12 hours
a day
etc.

I did all that, called it in for RMA, and, about 2 weeks later before I 
shipped it back for not workingness, tried it again, and viola! it was fixed.

Odd.
