I bought a new startup cable for it, and am running it on a critical cx2. It had worked fine for about 4 days, then half way through yesterday it started losing power whilst I was working, slowing significantly and wavering for a few seconds before going back to normal. Has anyone encountered this? I'm wondering if it's the connection wires inside needing resoldering? Has anyone else had this issue as Google and searching here don't seem to be offering any suggestions (which I'm treating as positive!) and I'm gutted as I'd just fallen completely in love with it!!!
Did you try the Spirit with another power supply? I had the same fluctuation problems and it was the Critical, and I think I'm not the only one reporting these kind of problems with it (CX2)
I use them with the original Cheyenne PS or the Venom 2 and never had a problem
