Exactly the symptom my first Vortex had which I got 2 weeks ago!!
Fortunately, I bought it here in Cologne and could give it back to the 
shop,
where they gave me another one last week. Now, for my second Vortex ...

Exactly what my *second* Vortex does !!! (Aaarrgh) It *is* still usable 
with
this symptom, but I think I should give this one back too because it just
isn't stable and might get worse anytime. I'm afraid though that they give
me a third Vortex which has the first (worse) symptoms again ... or both 
:-(
 
Seems like when Lexicon decided to stop producing this thing, they didn't
feel like testing and controlling any longer.
 
Thanks for the warning Olivier, and good luck.
