Did this email send previously 4 times? I never got a response nor did I
get my own email, so apologies if Exchange being the dumbest mailserver
ever has caused you pain and suffering in the form of repeated emails.
My VT320 decided to fail last night.
It was running fine, I stepped away, returned to it off and repeatedly
clicking/ticking. It sounded like either a stuck relay or the flyback
arcing. The screen would occasionally flash and the current draw would
fluctuate between 2W and 17-25W until it eventually turned on and ran
fine.
Any theories? Should I distrust the VT320 or was it just something like a
stuck relay that's older than me? I grabbed pictures of the board but
they never seemed to actually get anywhere.

Is that normal behaviour or is something wrong?
