- Beni: The tests done with the fADC125 firmware with 10 and 100 samples (hard coded by Cody) showed the same problem: after several thousand good events, there's a corrupted one (with a wrong length) and after that all are corrupted and there's no way to recover. As for the option to return back to the Gerard's code that was certainly working, the only way to do this is by manually re-programing again all the fADCs. Fernando: Cody, Bryan and Hai are working on this problem and they understand the urgency. Fernando hopes that very soon we will have a working code.

- By the beginning of the next week we will have a list with problematic connectors and Chris will start fixing them. The difficult part will be to fix the 3M connectors (at the electronics side), but at least Chris can open them and try to identify the issue. If we are sure that it is the 3M connector he can fix them later.

- A LV cable was cut during installation: the insulation and 3 out of 10 wires were damaged, but there's still LV on the cards.  Chris orderred parts needed to fix it.

- Several 3M connectors have to be fixed, but we want to make sure they are really bad, because fixing is difficult. One connector can't be disconnected from the module, since the plastic part seprated from the metal base.
