So I tried the heatsink trick... cut out a section (3/8" by 3/8") of an old pc video card heatsink and mounted it on the regulator with some heatsink paste. The heatsink gets hot, and I am still having the same issues. Next step is either a larger sink or trying a fan. Almost wondering if something in the MPGuino/my wiring went bad? I went the first 3 or 4 months without problems save for a random reset once every other tank or something. Contrast was on 25, and the backlight was off this morning, I barely made it 6 miles with the heatsink and it started resetting every 30s or so til I unplugged it.
