Hi Lepin

I bought a second hand G98DH in the spring of 2009 and over the last 4 months I recognise problems 1,2 & 4 of those which you list but on a less frequent basis i.e. I have only had to switch off the power and re-type it once so far. Is that unreasonable for modern electronic equipment?

Whilst I would agree with Paul that dirty DVDs/CDs may be part of the issue, I have rarely found that cleaning an already clean DVD/CD makes much difference, but it is worth a try.

I know that my machine is running the latest firmware, but I would have thought that re-installing the firmware on a regular basis should not be necessary. IMHO I put these problems down to the inherent reliability of any equipment which is reliant on software, my PC crashes/hangs far more often than the G98DH!

I would agree that 99.9% of the time the G98DH is a very good piece of equipment, but I had considered returning it through my local dealer (Sevenoaks of Bristol) for a service (quoted �99 under a fixed price servicing scheme?) if these problems persisted. I do find it somewhat strange that you get these problems on all 3 machines though, unless every other G98/G96 owner out there is living with the same issues, I suspect not! Sorry that I do not have a definitive answer to your problems.

regards

Mark
