Hi

Check the solder joints on the 9 pin serial connector. Your TBolt would not be the first to come back to live after a questionable joint on the PC board was touched up.

I only discoverd this when I checked Lady Heather early yesterday.(19 March) LH had stopped with a 'no data' warning late on the 18th Feb. I initially restarted LH but to no avail, then powered off the Thunderbolt briefly-again to no avail. I then left it powered off for over 24 hrs and restarted it around mid-afternoon today (20 March) and now, after about four hours running normally, it seems like all is back to normal. Just running Tboltmon at present but will go back to LH later tonight.
