While we're on the subject of KVMs, anyone have any tips for a Lindy 4port KVM owner? It randomly drops in to configure mode which should only be possible by pressing the large red button for 5 seconds. Annoyingly, pressing the button for 5 seconds doesn't cause it to go into configure mode.
Sounds like more of a mechanical problem with the button itself than anything else.
Thinking that the button is intermittently shorted it is causing the switch to drop into configure mode and that somehow that prevents entering configure mode when you want to. Does this button also cycle the inputs ? If so how reliable is that at the moment ?
Yes, The Button also cycles inputs. That is very reliable, only I don't normally press The Button, I use the keyboard shortcuts. Pressing The Button now to cycle does nothing!
I think I shall be taking the cover off again (couldn't see anything obvious last time) and examining The Button more carefully.
Ta!
