We have gone through a number of RTCs on our Zeiss 710. For a while in the mid-2010s we kept a screen and keyboard hooked up to it for coddling through a rough patch. However, swapping it out for a replacement from Zeiss was the last move a few years ago and this has been the most stable solution.

Hi, we had this problem on our 510 some years back when I was working in
Norway. I posted the solution on the confocal list then. Here is the link:
