Greetings!

I had a brief moment of panic with LabRat today, just back from having been brought to 48MB of RAM. Plugged it into the car for the first time since the upgrade. Nothing. I could see it boot, but then it went into "Tommy mode" (deaf, dumb and blind). Nothing I did would get it to work. And me without a redundant player at the moment!!!

So I brought it back in under AC power. No problems. Reflashed. Same thing, same results. Then it finally struck me:

LabRat had never been in the car before! The dimmer was 0% (on a very sunny day with a clear lens), volume was -infinity, no beeps. So, no feedback, no matter what button or knob pressed (deaf); no audio out, beeps or anything (dumb); no visuals, screen display or even hijack menu (blind).

Duh.

Found it in the (dark) house with AC power in use, but forcing the player to think it was on DC. Adjusted my settings and now everything works fine!

Duh...

I thought I would share that with everyone, for your amusement...
