Hi all
I bought a Mini-Z 42" in April 2007,
About 6 months ago the Right side hydro failed. This was fixed under warranty.
The problem I have is now the left hydro has failed.
Being told that I would have to pay $1600 for a new one, I asked the distributor what was the cause of the first failure and he didn't know as it was shipped back for a replacement.
So with the exact symptoms of the first one failing, I took it apart to see what failed. The picture should speak for itself.
Here is a picture
I am very miffed, as one drive I can handle. But TWO with the same fault, in which I believe is a batch fault in the shaft, with only 322 hours of work done
Cheers
Mattie
