Hi ALL. My Prometeia arrived yesterday from Denmark, and of course DHL shipped it resting on every box surface, but the bottom. It was obviously on it's side as the "seam" around the compressor has dented the bottom side-panel. Well I checked it out, and could "see" no apparent damage, so I simply tried to test it, by slipping an Antec in the top of the empty case, and shorting pins 13/14 on ATX connect to mobo, and of course attached power to 12V molex. The system immediately made an "hissing" sound as if it were pressurizing itself, by displacing any air in the line? It stopped after 4 seconds, but then the only noise I heard was the two fans spinning. It sounds too silent. The temp remained at ambeint (which happned to read "13:0" with the top half of the colon blinking) I waited almost 5 minutes, yet the temp remained at 13C, and the micro-freezer "core" did not frost up as they said it would? I belive the problem may be in the compressor, isn there anyway to trouble shoot the unit? I also read someone screwed up there LED control with their TV remote? I was using my remote last night, but would that effect/prevent the system from temping down? I actually tapped my finger against the microfreezer, and it was warm enough to touch, when I did the temperature rose, so I guess the sensor's working?
I even tried attaching the Power, and Reset Switch thinking perhaps a circuit was broken? That had no effect. So I'm puzzled, and I sincerely hope they insured the unit. Perhaps there's something I'm missing, something obvious? ANY help would be very much appreciated (and I already emailed Chip-Con).
