Dear John, I understand; I tried it in the hope that, I could activate the LV again with a new PV replacing the damaged one. But still I could not activate it. What is the right way to recover the remaining PVs left? Regards, Khem On Sat, February 28, 2015 7:42 am, John R Pierce wrote:> On 2/27/2015 4:37 PM, James A.
