I am having issues with my 3155 osmolator. The power flashes on and off rapidly. Anyone had this before? Not sure if I need a new power cord/converter or if it is a deeper issue. Thanks

yep...the internal powersocket has a very poor grasp on the coaxial power plug... and on mine, just touching the cord would interrupt the power. Take it to the electronics man and get him or her to solder the power wire directly onto the internal board permanently. Mine has been perfect ever since.

They generally only will do this if the tip has developed some corrosion, I would just replace the power supply.
