I know it's bad form to follow up on one's own post but someone may be 
reading.

It's now 4 out of 5 dead noir v2.1 cameras.

I note that ALL the dead ones have the metal canned crystal.
I managed to get an "old stock" NOIR V2.1 camera on ebay. It works fine
It also has the old plastic cased crystal.
And was only half the price.
