Over the past 2 days my Mk2 hasn't gone into standby when I turn the ignition off and stop the engine. Each time this has occurred I have turned the ignition on and off a few times to see whether the player will go into standby, it doesn't. Prior to this it had behaved fine over the past 8 months or so.

This brings me to that old (almost a) cliche "Well, it was fine the last time I used it" which I hear others say every day, "well obviously or you wouldn't be here telling me I guess" as the story goes Seriously, apart from a GB of music uploaded, nothing (I can recall) has changed since it was ok 4 days ago.

My question is 'Do I qualify for Negative Spike club Membership'? The reason for asking is I haven't been able to find mention of this problem just occurring, AFAIK it's there from the start or it isn't. I'd just go ahead and fit the diode if it wasn't such a PITA getting my soldering station running in-car and getting the sled out of the dash so, if possible, I'd like to be more sure that it's worth the effort first.
