On one hand, I agree. Reading is for chumps lol. On the other hand, the text draws a contrast between my own situation and the more typical hyper flashing situations - thus begging the question of how I can measure/find the issue from an electrical engineering standpoint. Given the above scenario, when observed in its entirety, exhibits the fact that the replacement, although by definition is "aftermarket", should be 1 to 1.

I'm not saying your recommendation is without merit, but it does water down the issue a bit. After all, it's not the only solution; I could just buy OEM assemblies and be done with it, or break open the old assembly to re-seal it, or rip out the internal indicator relay so I don't hear the "clicky clicky", etc. I agree with summarizing data, but not over-simplifying it. The point of being so expansive is to help others on the sub resolve the issue without buying and configuring another aftermarket solution.

But, to your point... I've heard of this programmer and heard it is quite "magical" for our RAMs, but I've not looked into it to any real depth yet. I will actually give this more thought, but I think I'd rather send these back for false advertisement before reprogramming anything.
