[QUOTE="JimGore, post: 91719, member: 3"] I purchased a 400 light a little while ago. Very nice unit for the money, but man does that thing get hot! I opened it up and saw that the CPU is on the bottom, heatsinked to a thin little plate in the base of the unit. To solve the issue I put the player on top of a cut-off heatsink I have. Put the heatsink on it's back so that the fins stick up. The unit then goes on top such that the steel base sits on the heatsink (the small rubber feet fit in between the heatsink fins). After a couple of hours worth of non-stop play, the unit now only gets luke-warm. Definite improvement! Not sure whether the heatsink is really doing much of anything other than lifting the unit so it gets more airflow underneat, but this is a very good and cheap solution to the issue. Cheers, Ian.
