While browsing the forums I see that a red blinking light on the bar indicates the bar is in protection mode
and it may need to be sent in for servicing ? With the unit being a few years old (and has never worked very well anyways)
it may not be worth it to pay for shipping (to and from) and also pay for it to be serviced ?
Is there any way that I can do it myself ? If there is a way to take it out of protection mode then Im sure I can do it !
I know opening up the bar will void the warranty but I think I am way past that ?
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it very much, otherwise I will probably end up taking it apart anyways ?
Thanks for any ideas in advance... Tony
