- - Hi
- - My question is
- -
- - Has Anyone left his Supra on for 24 hrs and lived to tell the tale ?
- - I have a supra and it seems the problems lie with the power adapter and
- - not the modem itself. The Adapter heats up so much until it is too hot
- - to touch after five hours of usage, however the modem is still alright.
- - What i am afraid is the Adapter burning up on me. Maybe someone can tell
- - me about their experiences ?
- -
- - I'd appreciate it if the responses are not flames about supra, but
- - genuine experiences.
- -
- - Please Email me if possible.

- - Thanks in advance !

- Sure, I leave it on ALL THE TIME (24 HOURS), and have NO problems. The case
- does heat up though. I find that placing something (metal) on top of the case
- helps disperse the heat further. The one transister that they have heat sinked
- to the case gets damn hot.
