Ok, that makes sense. I did try it (mistakenly) with a different brand new power supply that is 12v 2.5A, like I mentioned earlier. Do you think that would be a sufficient test to know whether the problem is the power supply, or would trying a different 12v 1.5A power supply (which is the spec it came with) be the only way to know for sure?
Again, thanks for your help.

1amp higher isn't going to make a difference, if there power supply doesnt' change the behavior, then the CM needs to be replance. Something to ask NG about to see what your options are.
