Hi Hagen

Thanks for your post, I suspect something like that, but I have not the equipment or expertise to investigate as thorough as you have done. I will just keep looking for something that might be upsetting the IR through elimination.

I will also move the system to a different room or even building.

The only things that have changed in the house recently are :-

WiFi router, new microwave / dishwasher and oven, new downlighters in kitchen ceiling

I have tried it with the plasma tv switched off and the PC switched off

I will let you know if we get anywhere

Thanks for your help

Hi Hagen

After much testing and unplugging different equipment, I am now pretty sure that this interference is caused by an old LCD PC monitor in my son s bedroom whch is next to the room where the BM5500 is located. Is this possible ?

I am also unsure about an xbox 360 in the same location, the wireless system is on all the time, even when the xbox is in sleep mode, apparently this gives of strong signals at 2.4GHz

Thanks

Tony

Hi Tony,

LCD monitor: Yes, it might be possible. May be the power supply of the monitor has become defect.

WLAN: As the WLAN is only emitting signals when in use (ignoring the very little traffic issued by broadcasting its SSID) I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If the problem is stable and reproducible it should be easy to track down by unplugging any suspicious device until the troublemaker is found. As I understand you, you already did this and detected the LCD monitor to be the reason. If the problem is really gone when you disconnect the monitor from the mains you should consider buying a new one. Some models have an external power supply. Thus do not only turn the monitor off but disconnect it from the mains.

Good luck!

Btw: In the meantime the pictures of my original thread have been restored.
