I blew my multi meter a few weeks ago and am confident using one , but i also remember when i removed the cover of the black box VFD to take photos to post i un plugged it from the mains supply but there was a red neon light flashing on the BOB even though there was no power lead connected and even after 30 minutes it was still flashing so i am now asking myself in the name of safety should i just write to the company and say replace the box as there is an issue of a thousand pounds exchanging hands. your thoughts would be appreciated on this

I think if that avenue is open, that would be an eminently sensible thing to do.

Explain the Error Code on the VFD and the shock experienced from touching the metalwork of the machine.

You could chase down the fault, replace bits, etc, but at the end of the day this is still the suppliers responsibility.

The red flashing neon (LED?) could be the BoB powering from the USB interface - if still connected to the computer. If so, I wouldn't worry too much and wouldn't pollute the conversation with the supplier with that bit of info.
