Hi , Happy new year !

 I just returned from hols, ( inlaws house sitting)

before i went away, i turned off the system at the mains, (never had an issue with this before)

When i came back i turned on as usual, waited for the pin code screen, and am instead greeted with the message "wait"

this flashes up for a couple of seconds and goes off again, If i press load the tray opens as usual, but any other functions are greeted with "wait "

any ideas?

 thanks in advance !

I think you will have to leave it plugged in and wait for three hours. It should then request the PIN again. Once you are in and the system is working I would deactivate it and you won't have any more hassle!

It won't stop anybody from nicking it, it just causes you grief.

yeh that was it, it seems it counts down the time 3 hours from when turned on, not from when the code was put in incorrectly . and subsequently turned off at teh mains

 ( thanks bro-in-law)

cheers
