My replacement BC-900 doesn't show which version in the display.

[Turbo DV8]

So I sent one of my BC-900's back to TD because it was doing untoward things (at least it didn't melt!). My two old units would flash "v32" in the right side of the display when you first turned it on. This replacement unit (which came in a cardboard box instead of blister pack like my old ones) shows alternating numbers instead. For example, the first time I turned it on, bays 1,2 & 4 flashed the number "33". Not "v33" just "33", and not shown in bay #3. Noting the difference, I cycled the power and this time bay #3 was again blank, but bay #1 & #4 said "33" but bay #2 said "32". The next time I cycled the power, bay #3 was again blank, but the remaining bays displayed "33" "31" & "32". What is going on? Shouldn't the new rev units display "v33"? If not, what am I seeing with all these numbers changing each time I turn the power on?

I think bay 1 and bay 2 show the temperatures of those two sensors, bay 3 is always blank, and bay 4 shows the version number, which should be always 33. I am not sure if you made a typo, but bay 4 should always say 33.

The right bay may very well have said 33 all times. But if 1 & 2 said 33, 32 or 31 as temps (celcius, I assume) why would it say that when first turned on and cool, having not charged anything yet?

wrong, those temperatures are NOT in Celsius (by the way, please spell Celsius with uppercase C). There was a link here at CPF to a German forum that explained how to convert these numbers to temperatures, I believe they are somehow related to the resistance of those thermistors, but not direct temperature in degree C as you assumed. Search and maybe you find it. I saw it a while ago, but last time I looked for it I couldn't find it.
