Title: Flicker Fixer arrived
Post by: Doppie1200 on September 01, 2004, 09:38:34 PM
Hi,


Finally my shipment from vesalia came in.
They did make some dubious mistakes.
But I will sort it out with them and expect to be treated like a customer should. Back to the question....


I installed the flickerfixer and guess what! After being shipped in a (!) plastic (!) bag it actually works.

However one chip, the tiny one on the lower right, gets mighty hot.

Does any of you got into trouble with that or shouldn't I worry?

Any Flickerfixer inter or extern gets hot, some more some less, so don`t bother. If you like you can add a passive heatsink if you like, but it is not really neccessary.
Aktive cooling wouldn`t be a good idea since most flickerfixers produce a stable image only after they reached their "working temperature"
