Ok glad you in agreement that its separate from visual side of things, which backs up my theory that its putting heavy drain on the 5v supply from my mb/psu.

now that the rain seems to have stopped (at least it looks like it will for a few hours) I'll go out and see if I can measure its current drain on the supply, but I dont know what to expect, I cant see why something like a little custom chip, measuring resistance between a plastic sheet, and pumping out the data, should need more than a few mA, but I suppose could be as high as a hundred.
