Well then, I guess I'll place my order for the replacement JLF first thing in the morning.his issue sounds more like an issue with the stick pcb/microswitches which isn't that much cheaper than just buying a new JLF, and he is using a six year old JLF from another conversation we had so he's due for a new one anyway.
also no, the silent doesn't last any appreciable amount longer than the normal JLF
