Re: Battle Zone Mini SN:0091

Guess #1: if heatsink isn't running hot maybe someone replaced it and
used (or didn't use) the correct amount of grease.

Guess #2: power supply strapped for too low a power line voltage (for
example, strapped for 110 while being plugged into 125 volts).

Guess #3: power supply set to too low of an output voltage (4 instead
of 5).
