Dew sensor cleaning procedure sent via DIRECT e-mail, if however this fails then the full disabling info can be sent if requested.

Anyone else who may be considering a similar course of action please note the following.
-----------------------------

- AN IMPORTANT POINT CONCERNING THE MODIFICATION -

The latter instructions given (disabling info) is really aimed at technically minded people of a "practical" hands-on type who are acquaint at working on small electro-mechanical devices of a precision nature or who have a flair for this sort of thing, and so in the interests of not making the situation any worse I would strongly advise anyone who does not really consider themselves as coming into that category NOT to attempt this work, as it involves case separation and the undoing the main circuit board to gain access to the board below it, this requiring the disconnection of ribbon cables etc, it is also necessary to carry out the precision soldering of two "very" narrowly spaced PCB pins and so the possession of a fine tipped soldering iron is also absolutely essential, plus of course the "steady hand" skill to use same.

Taking the above into consideration the qualification mentioned is really a MUST!!

It should be emphasised that there are "NO" shortcuts into permanently getting over this problem other than what's been aforementioned, as if the "no dismantling" dew sensor cleaning procedure doesn't help but the "partial dismantling" memory reset "does", even this can only really be adopted as a stop gap measure as the CPU could lock up again at some point in time and indeed in many cases does exactly that!
