just read this thread with interest. Have 2 x v1 neostat room stats, one of which went offline the other night. after switching the panels and backplates around I concluded one of the backplates has failed. I found that Heatmiser sell a V2 backplate psu as an individual part for £10 & postage although in the description it tells you only to buy it for v2 stats. Heatmiser tech support also confirmed this and pushed me towards buying a whole new v2 stat (which I don't want to do as they have a different colour backlight and won't match the UFH neostats that sit directly alongside, also seems excessively expensive when it's only the backplate that's failed). Earlier in this thread someone noted they had used v2 backplates with v1 stats and I've also seen an old ebay listing where someone sold a v1 stat/v2 backplate combo and said it was working fine. Can anyone confirm real life compatibility please? of course it suits Heatmiser to say it's not compatible because this will mean people can keep their v1 stats going longer using a £10 spare part 🙃
