Major reason for your condition is chronic magnesium deficiency which combined with lack of vitamin D causes your body to not use serum calcium. It can cause other problems such as kidney stones,bursitis. Get a good mulitvitamin and mineral supplement and eat a few more salads as vegetables have a good amount of magnesium. My wife had that condition and was suffering for a couple months with little help from her doctor. I researched it and convinced her to do as I've told you. She now eats more salads than I do,lol. She recovered and hasn't had any issues with it in over a decade. In addition to mag and vitamin D3, trace minerals which contain boron and adding some bromelain should get you back to swinging in a couple months. If you don't you might take years if ever to get back out there.

That is an understatement to bring an Englishman to shame! Good one.

As you state here:Poorly designed to not have a separate power supply.I have the Nox 800 and am a little concerned about the battery being not replaceable even with the tech on recharge batteries being so much better than in the past.My cell battery is still going strong after 3 yrs so I guess I should worry about more important stuff,huh?

I wonder why all these detector companies can't seal these units like we did for Navy equipment when required.I would put the electronics enclosures with them open with components that were tested after repair into a vacuum oven at 100 degs for 4 hours at 1 torr+9.Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 torr.Then put a nitrogen charge into it a 10 psi for 1 hour and then seal the case.Putting the case in water for 24 hours to test it.I never had any of them come back for leakage.If there were any problems the bubbles would let us know.On VPI motor and generator windings we would put them in water brought to conductivity of sea water with baking soda and put a meggar on them for 24 hours.
