HiFi Control Set Pad Doesn't Like The Heat

[awj223]

I will be on business travel from tomorrow until 4/29, but if you'd like to send me another one, I can test it. I already have an infrared thermometer that I keep in the car to measure the temperature of my brakes, and can easily use it to measure the temperature of the control pad.

Update: I parked the car at The Shops at Tanforan, right before going to the airport. The seabreeze was howling though, and the temperature outside of the car was in the mid 60s. Inside the car it only got up to about 95-105°F. Measured the temperature of the control pad and it was 125°F. It did not experience the issue. If I had to guess, I'd say that the temperature of the control pad is between 150-175°F when this issue occurs.

BRD: I think you'd be able to test this by putting a control pad in the Sun on a black surface, and covering it with a transparent plastic or glass lid to simulate being in a car. I also sent you a PM.
