HiFi Control Set Pad Doesn't Like The Heat

[awj223]

I may be experiencing the same issue right now. My control set is mounted in a compartment with a lid which I've been leaving open lately. I just got in my car and upon startup the ALP shut down halfway through the word "defense". The control set is warm but nowhere near hot, it's 52* outside and the interior surfaces are maybe 80*F, if that. Tried rebooting it five times and it only worked once, the other attempts resulted in shut down. Never had this issue with the standard control set which I ran in the same location last summer (it easily saw 100*F surface temps).

I have a video of what's going on if it is of any use; I'm on my phone right now but I could upload it tonight.

Mine doesn't even get that far. The external LED turns on (green), then switches off. The control set LED never lights up at all. If I try to force the ALP to turn back on (by holding down the POWER button), both LEDs flash red the way they do when it is manually powered down. Only after power is completely removed (by turning the key to the OFF position) and the control set cools down will the ALP boot properly.
