ground is only common to a stereo pair, not to all four outputs ( . . )
the chances of them reconnecting themselves later are slim to say the least

especially since both of them decided to reconnect at the same time! Highly unlikely, unless ARM intelligence extends to the connector.

I'm intending to add a 18.1GB Toshiba next week. Could/should I check the pre-amp board? Should I postpone the upgrade (disk is on its way?

PS1: Should there be any output on the car-output pins of the docking connectors when empeg is in 'home' mode?
PS2: We wanted to measure output on these pins yesterday, but the schematic on the empeg's top, nor the 'user manual' gave any detail where to find, which outputs. Could I suggest that you include pin-out info on later model(s)?

I'll keep a close watch on how things go. Will let you know if I strange things happen again.
