Data going to L00643 in drive #0. Sat Nov 13 17:41:29 GMT 1999 CHIP CHIP Start Patrol **CHIP PROBLEM**: Sat Nov 13 17:42:44 GMT 1999 The Sony GUI monitor wouldn't display properly, kept going into Power Saving Mode. I cycled the main CHIP/PICS power switch to clear the problem, that worked for the monitor but caused the programs to stall for CHIP and PICS. I did a Kill/Run cycle to get both instruments going again. **PICS PROBLEM**: Sat Nov 13 17:46:56 GMT 1999 Same problem as CHIP, see comment above.

I removed it and tried the other "bad" shutter, and it indeed was bad too, although it sometimes opened. The backside shutter leaf is sticking after closing, I can feel the increased static friction. That is the leaf that is first in line if you are looking through the backside of the shutter and seeing the black side of the leaves. I tried working the leaf free from debris by opening and closing it with my finger while detached from the cable, that helped for a while but the sticking would start again. Tomorrow I'll bring up some dry silicone lube from home and lube those leaves. Can't get any data until at least one of those shutters will work again. There appears to be a bad shutter leaf stop design. If those aren't under warranty maybe I can dissect one and improve it.

The realtime scans look very good.
