Default Warm AVC-R display! Normal?

Hi All,

I'd never noticed it till today, but whilst unplugging my Sat nav, I put my hand on the AVCR display and was surprised at how warm it was! We're not talking aversive to the touch, but certainly warm enough to be a nifty hand warmer!

I thought it was maybe the location of the unit at first (in the change bin below the cigarette lighter) but that didn't feel that warm, nor did the sat nav charge lead I had plugged in there.

Is this normal, or could it indicate an electrical problem?

Thanks for any advice/reassurance given in advance.

Cheers Simon.

I've been suspicious of warm electronics ever since the transformer from a Scaletrix (sp?) I had as a kid got hot enough to burn a hole in the carpet!

LOL, funnily enough I only noticed my AVCR screen was hot the other day, its been in 2 months so I thought something might be up with it. Obviously its just the first time I've touched it once its been on for a while - phew!
