We have been using Kinetics Fast Paths for almost two years now.  We have
never had a single problem with them.  It is unfortunate that you are
having problems.  Have you considered checking your power source, room
temperature or other sources that could be causing the box to 'overheat'?

I don't have a specific answer to your problem.  But I hate to sit here
and let someone give a FastPath the undeserving name 'piece of garbage'.
