the sparks are from charging the capacitors on the Monster. it will happen regardless.

I know. There are people saying that it doesn't spark without the switch and that running without the switch makes it spark and causes issues but it does it either way.

i thnik you got me on that one unsullied

if switch is on, caps still get charged, if switch is off, main board gets it's caps charged while brain board dosent get power.

ok so most people here gave up on the switch, but is that because you didn't like the reliability?

i just figured that leaving the main board powered for a little while whilst you go marshal a 10 min heat wouldent be so bad.

fets are pretty safe without a signal!
