i just had something odd happen on a falcon install i'll try and explain it as best i can. long story short everything was in and programmed ready to glitch to get the cpu key and for some reason having the coolrunner butted right up to the rear usb/ethernet port caused the green light to flash very dimly and faster than normal but either lifting the coolrunner or moving it a fraction away from the port housing it glitched pefectly every time first attempt. put the coolrunner against the port again to check and it ws back to no glitch and dim light. wierd but wanted to share and see if anyone else has seen this?

i can only think some of the copper in the pcb is exposed to the edge of the coolrunner making it ground on the ethernet socket. i have also seen others saying they get only brief dim lighting similar to this issue so its worth anyone getting similar behaviour trying.
