I've never really noticed that my 2300c runs hot, let alone even warm. And yeah, I've noticed that if I take mine apart right after running it for a while, those little transformers are practically the only things that get warm in there.
That's the sort of info I was asking for. Adjusting the heatsink helped tremendously, but maybe I still have a problem, as the whole "top left" really is noticeably warm. I have also found since my previous posting that the 2300c is not charging batteries properly. Capacitors?
How did you "adjust" the heatsink? Perhaps since things are rather tight in there you're accidentally crossing something preventing the battery from charging properly? Check a bazillion times to see if anything's touching anything in there. Also, I've noticed on both the Duo boards I have that those little transformers seem to whine a bit. Do yours whine?
