Re: FV-L1 (with officially modified software) Dead
Thanks for the inputs people, but the replacement cap made no difference. Salvaged the HDD and binned the FV - along with an old H1 that I was using for troubleshooting.
Only have 2 x P2s and a P1 to go with my Toppy collection
I'm half looking for an excuse to try one of the new BWs anyway.

Thanks,
The new cap is only $6 - so it's worth a try.
I've been recommending Warkus to other people for years without needing him myself.
I have a spare DP-P1 in the cupboard.
