Yes its an early board, I need to sort it. A bit reluctant to do it at the moment as the system is very stable, none of the freezing I have read about on other threads.

Thanks John, that's cleared it up for me!
Perhaps ill give it a go in the future!
I see that you have had to bend the pin for the ir sensor too, I have a feeling mine will snap off !

Yeah I thought the same, I am so tempted in buying a 50pin IDC plug and connect that wire to pin 33 (I.e. the bent pin)

....However I do like the idea of doing away with the aluminium. I don’t know if that is a good idea, I would be interested to hear other peoples opinion.
