Hi,
I purchased an Ice Tube Clock kit from Massdrop in 2014 and it worked beautifully until recently.
I noticed that the clock brightness started fading slowly over an hour and I could fix it by pulling the power plug and putting it back in.
However, after a few weeks, the clock stopped functioning and started beeping constantly.
I searched the forums and noticed that my kit still uses the old Q3 P-channel MOSFET ZVP 3306. Could this be the source of the issue?
If so, can I also request a Q4 replacement to be sent to me?
I would be glad to share any pictures or videos of the issue if need be.
Thank you very much! :)

Re: Ice Tube Clock Constant Beeping
Unfortunately, we do not stock parts for the Ice Tubes anymore. But the ZVP2110A MOSFETs can be found at DigiKey or Mouser. The Ice Tube was a great kit, but we had to discontinue due to the increasing scarcity of NOS tubes.
The symptoms you describe sound like it might be a power supply issue. I'd check the output of the 5v regulator.
