Well - hello and welcome...................
Forgive us (me) if we (I) don't go to the far end of a fart to narrow down your problem.....................
We're (mostly) a friendly bunch - who respond well to an introduction and the predicament you find yourself in...........
From your brief "introduction" - you could be a dealer who has a pup on his inventory - who wants some cheap (free) solution.........
D'ya see where I'm coming from?
