so this is an updated post. It started normally and then died about 6 months later. Painful during a working video presentation. I set it aside and set it to heat (it gets very hot). I couldn't get it to work for about a month after that. Out of boredom I put it back in about a month later and it worked. So I left it running and it went off again at the wrong time about a month later (was I expecting anything different?) So now it's off and I'll try UNI. Super disappointment for something that should have been so easy. Unfortunately it didn't last a year.
