What kind of station card are you using.

KENB · « **Reply #2 on:** March 08, 2017, 09:01:25 AM »

The 34 button sets pull the most power of all the sets. Make sure you have a good power supply.

I would swap out station cards also, and then talk about upgrade.

By the time your done replacing parts they will complain about parts price and your labor .

Swapped power made no difference

Ken,
I think it's time you have to ask yourself how much revenue is this client really providing in a year?
It might be time to tell him upgrade or I can't help you.
Just a thought.

Yes i know but he has been a customer for 25 plus years has 5 locations all with merlin pluses
the best customer ever like a close friend
Its tough to walk from that loyalty
Besides with the up heavel in the business
what system can you sell in good conscience that may be discontinued next week

yes i know

yes i know

1 Question, is the customer paying for this or is it under maintenance?

KENB · « **Reply #12 on:** March 28, 2017, 08:49:48 PM »

totally t & m

hitechcomm · « **Reply #13 on:** March 28, 2017, 09:25:47 PM »

Then between you and me, your customer is nuts.

GO FOR IT....

So they have a Very Old, New System

I'm guessing by the time they get the bill for this they could have been on there way to a real New system.

KENB · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2017, 04:56:47 PM »

Exactly

hitechcomm · « **Reply #17 on:** April 12, 2017, 08:25:03 AM »

KENB · « **Reply #18 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:57:09 PM »

Funny ending

The owner called me yesterday and said Cabelvision came out
and rebooted modem and problem has been gone for 3 weeks
Hes happy he now has a spare system
Funny thing is it was the first thing i reccommened and he said no
We both had a good laugh and he invited me to lunch.
